52 Ancestors Challenge Week #33 - William M. Reese

William is my 3rd great grandfather.

William was born in August 1817 in Virginia to William Reese (1780-?) and an unknown mother.  William was married three times, William's first marriage was to a woman named Celia (1819-?) and they had ten children:
  • Eliza J. (1841-?)
  • Tabitha (1842-?)
  • William A. (1843-?)
  • Samuel A. (1845-?)
  • Byrd H. (1847-?)
  • Richard (1849-?)
  • Charlie (1850-1925)
  • Mary S. (1853-?)
  • Alonza (1857-?)
  • Edward (1860-?)
William would marry his second wife, my 3rd great grandmother Aseneth Cenia Mullins (1839-1882) about 1869.  They would have six children:
  • Celia Eveline (1870-1958)
  • Lela E. (1871-?)
  • Celestia Alabama Caldonia (1872-1948) - my 2nd great grandmother
  • Richard Hurston (1872-1885)
  • Benjamin Hall (1874-1925)
  • James Franklin (1878-1955)
After Aseneth passed, William married a third time to Lucinda Gaither about 1884.

William died in December 1901 at age 84 in Wild Cherry, Arkansas.
