1. Andrew Parham {married} Nancy Revis (or Reavis)
– One can reasonably assume that Andrew Parham resided, and may have been born, on the Asa Parham Plantation, where his daughter Sally Parham was born about 1831.
– Nancy Revis (or Reavis) could have lived on any of a number of the Reavis properties throughout Granville County, some of them adjacent to Parham properties – or – she may have been bought by a Parham and moved to the Asa Parham property.
Their Child: 2. Sally Parham (b. about 1831 – d. Feb. 18, 1937) {married} Harry Parham
– Sally Parham was born on the Asa Parham Plantation at Tabbs Creek, in Granville County, North Carolina.
– Harry Parham lived on the Albert Parham Plantation, adjoining the Asa Parham place.
It is unknown at this time whether Sally and Harry had any children. If anyone has any information in regards to this person or her descendants, please contact me.

Nancy Reavis referenced could possibly have been the slave named “Nancey” deeded in 1838 by Samuel Reavis to Asa Parham, who married Samuel’s daughter, Delia Hawkins Reavis:
Reavis, Samuel to Asa Parham [his son-in-law]. “…woman Betty and her six children and the said girl Nancey and her further increase…” (DOG-1838, p. 44, book 9).
The Parhams are mentioned in my Historical Novel, “Upon These Steps,” which is about the Reavis Family.

“DOG” is Deeds of Granville County. In Samuel Reavis’s Estate Papers of 1854, he left 34 slaves to his heirs. Five were left to Asa Parham (husband of Delia): Eatan – $1,000; Mary & 2 children – $850; and Sally – $300. The book’s website, which is about the Reavis Family during the Civil War, is http://www.UponTheseSteps.com . One chapter describes the 17 slaves of Lewis Reavis being set free on January 1, 1863 upon the steps of the Reavis homeplace.
