1. Gen. 1 Edward Reavis came to America, we are told, and Edward’s name had an “i” dotted and the name changed from Reeves to Reavis. Sometimes it is Rives, Reevis, Reves. So history really is made with this family. Edward was married to Hannah Alley who is the father of the family.  There are many stories circulating on the arrival in America, but the documented one as far as we know is that his name was Rivis and later changed to Reavis. 2.
