More biography (by Joyce Jarvis): Rezia is in the records of Surry, NC from at least 1775-1808. He married Elizabeth Rose about 1775 in North Carolina. I have not been able to verify that her middle name was Hannon or Hannah. According to my research, Elizabeth Rose was the daughter of Bennet Rose and his first wife whose name has not been found to date. She had one sister with the same parents whose name was Lucy Parmelia or Malinda Rose. Evidently Bennet's first wife died and he then married Sarah Bradford and had 8 more children. Research has been done on this family by the Rose Family Association at http://www.rosefamilyassociation.com/html/Rose-Family-DNA-Project.html] GROUP L. I do not show any half siblings; instead I show that Jabez and Elizabeth___ had nine children. I do not show Jabez with a second wife nor any other children.
