Author: John D. Solomon
Isham Reavis, Sr. was born on September 19, 1748 in North Hampton, North Carolina. He was the son of Edward Ashley Reavis, Jr. and Mary Isham. He was the second generation of the Reavis family born in the Colonies. Isham Reavis was the 5th great grandfather of John Solomon on his mother’s side of his family. At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, he was a resident of Rutherford Co., NC and was recruited by Col. Cambell to serve in the North Carolina Militia. He served as a Private, and fought under General Francis Marion in the Battle of Kings Mountain on October 7, 1780.
After the war was over, he returned to North Rutherford and in 1793 married Matilda Anne Jones in NC. They had a total of ten children, all of whom were born in North Rutherford.
Matilda died in 1805 in Warren Co., Kentucky where the family had moved to participate in the Federal offer of farm land. After the death of his wife, Isham moved from Kentucky to Missouri, where he died on September 10, 1829 in Saline Co., Missouri at the age of 81.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
