Well Pat I went to the library, & I can see why Pete didn't find W.H. Reeves in 1880 census.

I have Jeremiah's will. He died in Harris Co. Ga. on 17 June 1853. And yes I know who his children were. Thats why I was looking for his son W.H. Reeves. I don't know a lot about them but with your help & putting our stuff together I'm sure we will know a lot more in a little while. That is undoubtedly his widow Elizabeth who married Daniel Smith. I'm going to the library tomorrow & find them all in the 1880 census. We have all the Ark census locally plus 1880 sound-x.There is another lady researching the Scroggins side because she descends from Lucinda Scroggins Brazzell who was Elizabeth's sister.We'll all get our heads together & see what we come up with..Later, Othilla ----- Original Message ----- From: weaver To: othilla thompson Sent: Monday, April 01, 2002 7:04 PM Subject: Re: W.H.Reeves Hi, Did you get the address of Lewis Funeral Home, 420 N. Jackson, Magnolia 71753, Ph: 870/234-1010. They have been owned by the Lewis family since 1904. Also - I have collected some information that connects with the Reeves, Smarts, Scroggins, Morelands, etc. That is how I knew you might want Elizabeth W. & Daniel Jackson Smith's dates in Shiloh. My maternal grandmother was Addie Perry Polk, d/o Casrulle Hilliard Perry & his first wife, Mary Anna Scroggins. Cas Perry's sister, Louisa Jane Perry m. (1) John Samuel Smith, s/o Daniel J. Smith & first wife. Emma S. Reeves, d/o Jeremiah & Elizabeth, m. W. Frank Moreland abt 1868, then after his death she m. W. A. Cloud on 13 Mar 1886 in Columbia Co. All are buried in Shiloh Cemetery. We probably connect on several others also. My Perry family lived in the Bethel Community northwest of Lamartine. Louisa and John Samuel Smith & his mother plus Louisa's second husband, Thomas Callicott, along with some of Smith & Callicott children are buried on farmland near Bethel and near the Columbia Co/Nevada Co line. Do you know where Jeremiah Reeves is buried? GOODSPEED, Columbia Co, p. 507, has information on Daniel Jackson Smith & Elizabeth W. Do you have information on all of Jeremiah's children? Hope this does not confuse you further. Pat Weaver othilla thompson wrote: To Pat Weaver, Magnolia, Ar. If you've been at this very long I know you know how I appreciate you finding him, because I've been looking for several years. Do you have any idea which funeral home might have handled the arrangements? If I can get his funeral records it should give me a world of info that I donot now have. Thank you again, ever so much. I will send for his death certificate but they don't usually tell as much as the funeral records... In your debt. Othilla Heartsill Thompson in Pope Co. Ar. (formerly an Okie)
