Seley Reaves made a will in Chatham Co. on March 26, 1805 which was probat ed in November. She signed it as Seley Reaves. In the will she only nam es her brother Labin Smart. The LDS web site indicates a Labin Smart in Fr ankiln Co., NC. Witnesses to her will were Thomas Bell, Ulsey Smart, Pol ly Boon. Apparently she was the wife of one of the Rives family but I ha ve not been able to ascertain who. Please contact me if anyone has informa tion on Seley.
