members. Very respectfully,
MARY r. WILCOX.
Recording Secretary General.
National No. 75367.
Mrs. Gist became entitled to that
mark of distinction by virtue of her
descent in a direct line from her
geat, great grand father, lsham
Reavis, who was a soldier in the
patriot army from North Carolina
ard was one of the heroes of the
never-to-be-forgotten battle of Kings
Mountain in 1880.
1t was known to all branches of
the family that their ancestor above
named had been a soldier in the
wal for independence, but no serious
effort was made to find the record OF
his service till within the last few
years. 1t appears THAT after the close
of the war, the soldier with his family
emigrated west near the close of the
Eighteenth century, and made several
stops before he finally located in
Saline county, Missouri, where he
lived till his death, which occurred
in 1885 at the age of IS. He had
several sons. one of whom, named for
himself, located in the territory of
Indiana, where he reared a family.
Gov. Silas A. Holcomb, of this state,
belongs to that branch ofdhe family,
his mother being a Reavis. Another
son located in the territory of Illinois,
where he also reared a family, and
it is to that branch Mrs. Gist belongs.
His name was Charles, grandfather
of Judge Reayis of this city, of whom
Mrs. Gist is his only daughter.
Another son of the patriot soldier
socated in the state of Kentucky, and
Judge James b. Reavis OF Seattle,
W1sh., late a member of the supreme
court of that state, is n of his
grand-sons. 1t was at his instance,
assisted by L.. L. Reayis "a cousin
of Mrs. Gist's father. late of St.
Louis, Mo, author and publicist, that
the search for the army record Of
their ancestor "a instituted. But it
appears that moro was done IN trac-
ing the scattered branches of his fam
lily and it's various ramifications in
the Mississippi Valley, than in the
way of finding the official record OF
his service, and as there vas no rec
ord in the war department at Wash
ington showing the anne of the sold.
iers in that war furnished by the sew
eral colonies in revolt against the
mother country, no information could
be gotten from hat source, and there
was nothing substantially a~scertained.
But when Mrs. Gist concluded she
would like to be enrolled among the
daughters of the heroes of that great
struggle, she applied to her father
for instructions how to proceed. He
told her there was no doubt about the
services of her ancestor in that war
and thai in his judgment the RECORD
could be found somewhere in the
state of North Carolina, as he was a
native of that state and had fought at
the battle of Kings Mountain, as was
known to all branches of the family,
and advised her to write to the secre-
tary of state at Raleigh, North Caro-
lima, and she would be told where
and how the record was to be obtain
ed. She did so, and was told in re-
ply hat there was a bureau connected
with the Auditors office where a rec
ord had been made of all the sol
diers from that colony who had sery-
ed in the Revolutionary war, and on
