      There is only a birth record for their first daughter Elizabeth in this source currently. Charles might be the following: Great Britain, War Office Registers, 1772-1935 Name:
      Charles Rees
      Event Type:
      Military Service
      Event Date:
      21 Apr 1803
      Event Place:
      United Kingdom
      Age:
      18
      Birth Year (Estimated): 1785

      Charles is listed as a Fireman in each of his children's baptismal records. Charles and his wife were able to leave hard times in Wales when his wife was left bequests by her Uncle. They lived shortly in Pittsburg, PA where Charles made money as a glassblower. They were in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio by 1840 as they were in the census living two houses from Thomas Morgan in the 1840 census. He was between age 50 and 60, his wife from 40-50, with 4 sons from 10-15, and 1 daughter under age 5 in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. Elizabeth is married by the time of this census and is not a daughter listed in this family. (CL-88)

      He supposedly sent gold to the Chillicothe land office to buy his 40 acres in Gallia Co., OH on Jun 25, 1841. He was listed of Gallia Co. at the time of this purchase. They settled there because of friends and apparent family living in the area. John Rees married to Margaret Campbell on May 20, 1813 in Gallia appears from records to be the brother of Charles. This is probably John Rees, a native of Wales, who d. on May 7, 1863 and was buried in Ebenezer Cemetery also. (CL-606) It is also likely that Charles named his 2nd son John after his brother. Charles had selected a heavily wooded lot in Raccoon Twp. With the help of sons Charles, David, John and little George, they built a two-story log cabin and cleared land for crops. (CL-588)

      Sometime before 1850, his wife contracted cancer and died. Charles married two more times. One of these appears to be Eleanor Campbell in 1858 as he is likely the Charles living with wife Eleanor in the 1860 census for Raccoon Twp. on pg. 235, living within pages of the rest of his family. In that census, he is 65 years of age, born in England (Monmouthshire Co., sometimes Wales, mostly England), wife's name was Eleanor. They had a daughter named Melissa E. living with them, age 10. She would have been Eleanor's daughter.

      In the 1870 census, he is with his son David and next to his son George. He is listed as helping his son for occupation. His age is given at 72, born in Wales. The two households before him are also relatives, the families of David and Edward Evans. He was buried beside his first wife in Gilboa Cemetery. His stone is no longer in existence as they were destroyed by vandals. Charles Sr.'s Son's Charles, David, and John went into steam boating on the Ohio River during the Civil War. After the war, Charles moved to Tennesee. John moved to Minnesota and David returned to the farm.

      In the 1851 Census records, there is one other Reese that was born in the same town, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales in a similar time period. He was William Reese, born in 1793 married to Elizabeth Reese and having son, Thomas, b. 1833. They lived in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales at the time. It is likely that William is a relative of, or possibly brother to Charles Reese. (EL)
