Reasor, John - Montgomery County served in the Revolutionary War. Reasor, Peter - Washingto n County served in the Revolutionary War.

One of these immigrants was almost certainly the father or possibly grandfather of the Pete r Reasor who died 3 Feb 1797, but this writer has no proof positive as to which one. It als o is possible that this Peter Reasor who died 3 Feb 1797 was the same Peter Reasor that arriv ed in Philadelphia on September 3, 1739 if he lived a long life.* Reference: RootsWeb's WorldConnect - SmartCopy: Sep 7 2016, 6:34:54 UTC
