The names of this couple "William Reeves and Susan Hunter" come from a Dawes' application, by their grandson Larkin C "Lake" Wilson dated 1896/8. Susan Hunter is there stated to be a full-blood Cherokee. According to this application, Susan Hunter came from "... Cherokee Nation East of the Mississippi." If the remainder of my speculation here is accurate, their marriage must have taken place in what is today North Carolina and probably between 1780 and 1793. I've below applied various "Reeves" children to this couple, the earliest child I've applied to them so far is that James who was born Feb 1794 in North Carolina (see below). | The names of this couple "William Reeves and Susan Hunter" come from a Dawes' application, by their grandson Larkin C "Lake" Wilson dated 1896/8.

| + | One interesting thing about this family is the continuous preference for the name Clarinda "Clara". This name is repeated for several generations right up to the present day in the descendents. [[William_J_Clinton|President Bill Clinton]] is a descendent of this couple, through their daughter Jane Reaves who married John B Wilson.
