General Notes: Husband - Wilkinson W. Reese
NAME:
He appears in the census as Wilkinson W., W. W., William, and William W. He appears in the Bedford Co. tax list as Wilkinson. He signs the deed of May 14, 1831 as Wilkinson W. He marries first as William W. and second as Wilkersen W. It will be convenient to refer to him as Wilkinson W. to distinguish him from his older brother William G. Reese. A nephew is in the 1880 census as Wilkerson.
CENSUS:
In 1840 he does not have his own entry. He may be the male 30-40 in the household of his mother Sarah Reese.

Wilkinson is not in the Slave Schedule. The last age in 602/602 is 42. It appears that the census taker put ages in the wrong boxes. The sequence 42,85,14,7,40 should be shifted downward by one box so that Parthenia is 42, Sarah is 85, Callowhill is 14, Martin V. is 7, and Wilkinson W. is 40.

CHILDREN:
Charlotte, Callowhill, and Andrew J. Reese appear to have been born before the 1838 marriage of William W. Reese and Frances J. Holbert. Maybe their ages are wrong, maybe they were born before the marriage, and maybe their mother was a previous wife of their father.
BEDFORD CO., VIRGINIA PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX LIST:
Wilkinson Reese and Fleming Reese are in the Bedford Co., Virginia personal property tax list only once -- in 1831. Fleming has a horse and pays $.12; Wilkinson has no taxable property and pays nothing. They probably left Virginia and moved to Tennessee with their siblings in about 1831.
General Notes: Wife - Frances J. Holbert
Her son Martin Van Buren Reese was born 17 Feb 1844. Her husband remarried 26 Aug 1845. She may have died in childbirth.
Charlotte, Callowhill, and Andrew J. Reese appear to have been born before her marriage to Wilkinson W. Reese. Maybe their ages are wrong, maybe they were born before the marriage, and maybe their mother was a previous wife of their father.
