The Reveleys have entwined families as well, and I have met my cousins that descend from house slaves on the Reveley plantation in Appomattox, Virginia. They call themselves the Rainbow Revelys. ;-)
They took the family name when they were freed after the Civil War, and dropped the final E.

So John, 'nuff said.

I couldn't help but chuckle when I read Charla's comment about 'entwined' families and it being a blast. I remember the first time (some 30 years ago) when I found part of my family "entwined" back and forth with another family. At first it was a little 'shocking' and I thought "Oh My", but if you think about the times as they were back then - it is understandable. Now I get a kick out of finding more and more of these entwined families within my tree. I'm sure everyone can relate to those instances.
