Roger Reese sells his 515 acres on White Oak Swamp to John Old before 1767 according to Old's will in Amelia County Book 2X page 242.
Notes for Mary Anderson:
Identified as Mary Rees in her fathers will.Mary was married to the son of Roger Rees an associate of Thomas Anderson, her father. Roger Rees appears in the 1712 deed of James Anderson relinquishing control of his father's estate together with the brother in law William Sanders so it would appear that Mary married Roger Rees, Jr.

________________________
I found no patent for the 326 acres, until his sons patent it in 1738.This makes it very likely that he only had the two sons or the others would have ahd to share in it also.
Since the births of the sons are not in the Bristol Parish Register they must have been born before 1720.
Children of William Reese are:
9 i. William3 Reece, born Bef. 1720.
