Both died in what is now Hale County, Alabama. However, Hale County, Alabama wasn't formed till about 1867. For information about relatives before that time, you must check with all the counties that were used to form Hale County.
The counties are: Greene, Perry, Marengo, and Tuscaloosa.

He was on the 1820 Census for Laurens Co., SC, but all male children were under 10.

Gray, Nathaniel m. Susan Gray 11 Nov 1855
I noted this since this is a possiblity for S. E. Gray (sister to Wm. J. Gray).

1830 Oglethorpe County, Georgia......page 67 Capt Hargrove's District

Since it looks like Reece may have moved onto the Hezekiah Gray farm in Elbert County when Hezekiah moved away, I'm looking into the possibility that Reece was a grandson of Hezekiah. The cemetery records show,

There is also a "Reese Cemetery" in Warren County which is several counties away from Elbert County.
