Researching the Ream(e)s family of Hart County. Robert Reams was born in
South Carolina on Feb. 8, 1786. In 1807 Robert Reames Settled in Hart
County (Hardin County at the time), with his wife Annie West. Robert
Reames was a Methodist Preacher and built the Ream's Chapel Church at
Cane Run in Hart County. After the death of Annie West, Robert married
Sallie Dorsey. Robert and Sallie had a son, Robert Dee Ream(e)s. Robert
Dee Ream(e)s married Lutisha Logsdon. Robert Dee and Lutisha had a son
Walter Reams. Walter Reams married Mary Elizabeth (Lizzy) Smith. Walter
and Lizzy had a son Curtis Lee Reams. Curtis Lee married Winnie Powell.
Curtis and Winnie had a son Gerald Reams. Gerald Reams married Susan Cox
(daughter of Willie Cox, Cub Run Ky.). Gerald Reams and Susan Cox had two
children, Rebekah and Stephen Reams. All of the above were from Hart
County, Kentucky, except for Winnie Powell and Gerald Reams who are from
Grayson County, Ky. Also the Ream's Chapel Church is deteriorating badly
and we risk losing 150 years of Hart County heritage. I would like to
correspond with any of the families that have ancesters buried in it's
cemetery or were members of the church. With very little effert the
Ream's Chapel could be saved.
