From FindAGrave entry:
George Reeves, Jr., occupation "Hatter", of Orange County acquired 250 acres on Terrell's Creek from Anderson Strowd in April, 1810 and was given 180 acres by his father, George Reeves, Sr. in the same area in May, 1810. His father gave him an additional 100 acres in 1818. In 1822 George Reeves, Jr. was executor for the estate of his father. George Reeves, Jr. apparently died in 1825. In 1838 the land of George Reeves, Jr., dec'd - 530 acres, the same total amount as above - was divided between "Spencer S. Reeves and Harriet Reeves his only heirs-at-law." There is mention of the "widow dower line" in this division, which suggests that the widow (name unknown) of George Reeves, Jr. lived on at least a portion of the property from 1825 until about 1838, when she died. Spencer S. Reeves married Ann E. Duncan by Bond dated 17 Jul 1839; no record was found for his sister Harriet in Orange County. It is reasonable to expect that George Reeves, Sr. was buried here when he died in 1821/22 (no wife was mentioned in his will). There is a story in the Durham family that a brother of this family killed his sister, who may be the Harriett on the burial listing, and he was hanged for the crime and buried outside the boundry of this cemetery.
