• Notes

  It is probable that David Reese married twice, the first time to a Martha. I suspect this because Martha A. Noel Reese, wife of David, died on Sep 31, 1851, age 26y, 5m and 17d and is buried at Old Pine Cemetery in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Coo David is the only Rees by that name living in Raccoon Twp. and he would have been her age. He is in the 1860 census for Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., OH, p. 233, living in the house before John Rees who is next to Elizabeth Rees Phillps (their sister). His wife's name was Ann, age 30. Both were born in Wales. They had daughters Elizabeth (age 4) and Mary (age 2). In the 1870 census, David is 44, b. Wales. His wife, Ann, is 40, b. Wales and they have multiple children as well as his father living with them. David Rees, b. 1826, d. 1909, is buried in Rehobeth Cemetery on the north side of Ebenezer Carmel Road, Section 6 of Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio He is married to Ann, b. 1829 who died in 1901 and was buried next to her husband. An early Welsh Church of the same name once stood where the small cemetery still is. (CL-88, 573)
