Name: Thomas Rives

Birth: 1690 in , Prince George, Virginia, USA

Note:

   See page 318, Reliques of the Rives, Person #7

These Deeds connect him to his son George Reeves:

Lois Gillespie, author of Frederick Rives Biography makes a case for the marriage of Thomas Rives and Hannah Bishop:
It is possible that George was married to Hannah Bishop, daughter of John and Sarah Bishop. The wills of John ( Prince George County, Virginia Deeds, 1713-28, page 114) and Sarah ( Prince George County, Virginia Deeds, 1713-28, page 589), list a daughter Hannah Reves/Rives. The 1704 Virginia Rent Rolls list John Bishop Jr. and John Bishop Sr. in Prince George County. Earlier, they were in the Parish of Wayenoake on the south side of James River (Charles City County Order Book 1677-1679, page 16 and Prince George County Book 7, page 305). George does not appear until 1714 in Prince George County, but since the individuals are in roughly the same area, it is possible that this connection is accurate. There are other "Rives" in the counties of Essex and Isle of Wight, and further research may prove this connection to be inaccurate. Other items to consider are that only one grandchild, not a Rives, is listed in both of the wills even though George had children born circa 1683, 1690, 1696 and 1698. Hannah may not be listed in her grandmother's deed of 1677 unless the reference to Elizabeth or Sarah is her. If one of these is not her, then she would be too young to be the mother of George's first two children and less than 40 when George is 59 in 1719. This possible age difference lends more credence to the theory that Hannah was married to George's son Thomas, born circa 1690.

Children as listed in William Reeves' 1751 Will recorded in Granville County, North Carolina.

William Reeves was in Chowan Precinct of North Carolina in February 1718 when he was referenced as an adjoining landowner in a deed involving Robert Hicks. After Bertie County was formed from Chowan in 1722, he appears many times in those records and in Edgecombe County land transactions after it was created from portions of Bertie in 1732.

The following are just a few of the numerous transactions recorded pertaining to William Reeves principally in Edgecombe and Granville counties.

   In 1733, a petition requesting that the seat of government not be moved to the lower part of the Cape Fear River (from Edenton) was signed by William Reeves along with numerous other citizens. Instead, they suggested a place in the center of the Province somewhere between the Tar and Neuse River.

   William Receives (sic Reeves) purchased 200 acres from John Span, both of Bertie Precinct, for land on the south side of the Moratock River and the north side of the Great Quankey Creek, March 10, 1738. Mal. R. Reves signed as a witness. Land was originally part of patent granted to Robert Wood on July 24, 1724 and appears to be the same land conveyed by James Reeves to Laurence Sympcock in 1737.

   William Reeves was referenced in deed from Joseph Ballard (Chowan Precinct) to Jonathan Mulkey (Edgecombe Precinct), for land on the south side of the Roanoke River in Plumbtree Island adjoining the Goose Pond and William Reeves, January 25, 1738/9.

   William Reves is referenced in a deed from Paul Harrelson to John Hardy, both of Edgecombe County, land on the Great Creek, adjoining Spann, and which was part of a patent originally issued to William Reves, Jr. for 400 acres on July 9, 1738, April 9, 1741.

   On August 8, 1739, William Reeves of Edgecombe County sold 230 acres on the north side of the Morratock River at the fork of Turbefield's Run to Robert Harris for 40 pounds. This deed was recorded in Bertie County.

   The Executive Council ordered that patents be issued to William Reeves for 400-acre tract and a 100-acre tract on the Great Creek in Edgecombe County, June 7, 1739.

   William Reeves was on a list of jurymen for Bertie and Edgecombe County in 1740.

   William Reves witnessed a deed from Peter Bruce to Isaac Reeves, both of Edgecombe County, for 100 acres on Marsh Swamp, August 14, 1740.

   William Reeves of Edgecombe County sold land to Robert Hicks, “mariner” of Northwest Parish, Bertie on April 13, 1741. The 30 acres located in northwest Parrish, Bertie on the north side of the Roanoke River sold for 3 pounds.

   He received a grant in Granville County from Lord Granville for 200 acres in Granville County on both sides of Fishing Creek, March 25, 1749. Sworn Chain Carriers were Malachi Rieves, William Rieves and Dan Weldon, Surveyor.

   Wm. Reeves was referenced as an adjoining landowner in patent issued to Ralph Hedgepeth on both sides of the Great Creek, April 11, 1745.

   William Reves witnessed a deed form John Haywood to John Gordon, both of Edgecombe County, February 18, 1746.

   William Reves witnessed a deed from Joseph Brewer to John McKinnie, both of Granville County, for 200 acres on the south side of the Great Quankey Creek and the plantation where McKinnie now lives, August 11, 1747.

   William Reves witnessed a deed from John McKinnie to James Reaves, both of Edgecombe County, for 200 acres on the south side of Great Quankey Creek, October 14, 1747.

   On January 11, 1750 in Granville County, William Reves sold 220 acres to Ralph Hedgpeth, witnessed by Thos. Good and W. Turner.

   William Reves, Sr. sold to James Reves, Jr. (Jr.?) land on the north side of the Great Quankee Creek, adjoining the said James. Witnessed by William Reves, Jr., and John Reves, December 31, 1750.
