REES/REESE is such a common surname amongst the early Welsh in the area,
and John and Ann/Anne such common given names, plus no assurance this John
and Ann REES were necessarily husband and wife, or even "closely" related ....

Add to that the then still somewhat common "surname" change amongst the
Welsh via the use of ap to indicate "son of" ....

I'm looking for a John REES/REESE who "probably" lived during the period
1680-1750 who was the brother-in-law of and Exec of the estate of Baldwin
JOHNSON, "probable" husband of Ann/Anne EYRE, an innholder and "possible
business partner" of William VANDEVERE.
