Note for: Willard H Reese, 13 Nov 1851 - Index

Individual Note:
The story that I have heard from family members is that Willard H. Reese, (Grandmother Burge's father) wanted to move to Texas for some reason. His wife, Eliza Ann Roberts did not want to go. He went and never came back. I assume there was eventually a divorce, as she later married David Benjamin Suggs and went on to have 6 children by him (in addition to the two surviving ones from her first marriage to Willard H. Reese). The Suggs children and the Reese/Burge children were always pretty close.
