Notes
General:
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. It will be convenient to refer to him as Wilkinson W. to distinguish him from his older brother William Gibbs Reese.
CENSUS:
In 1840 he does not have his own entry. He is probably 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.

Sarah is William's daughter. William's daughter Martha and her husband James Freeman live at 217/212. William's son Martin Reese (23, Tn, farmer) is living at 188/184. Hend is Pleasant Harrison Freeman. He and Mary marry in July 1870.
In 1880 William W. Reece (73, Tn, Wd) is living in Lincoln Co., Tennessee in the household of his daughter Sarah E. Muse (33) and her husband Jesse E. Muse (33, Farmer).
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 1832.
