Marie:  I am trying to find if Catherine Sellars b.1796 is daughter of
Duncan Sellers of the
1790 census of Bladen Co. NC.  Catherine married David Melvin Reeves
1816 in Bladen Co.  Their eldest son was named Duncan Reeves; the only
clue!.
Thanks for any help.

Trying to find if Catherine Sellers b. 1796 Bladen Co. N.C. was the
daughter  of     Duncan Sellers in the 1790 Bladen Co. census.
    Catherine married David Melvin Reeves b.1795 Bladen Co., 1816 in
Bladen   Co.NC.
    They had 2 sons that I know, don't know if there were others.
    Duncan Reeves b. 1818 in Bladen Co.; Richard H.Reeves b.1822
Bladen      Co.
    Do not know when Catherine died.&nbsp; David Melvin Reeves m2
Mary  Herring.
    David Reeves with his second wife and sons Duncan and Richard
migrated  to Lowndes  Co. Al. after 1836.

    The above information comes from ANCESTRAL SKETCHES by Le Roy
Reeves.
    My line is from Richard H. Reeves.
