Hi, Fred, I noticed your message this morning, and want to send a brief reply. We've communicated before, but if we can be of any help just let me know. We have about 50 entries for the Reeders, in our database of Illinois Primitive Baptists, and have a few entries for the surnames of Karnes and Tates. Not all, I'm sure, since we have not obtained all the records of all the churches in those counties, but at least we have part of the names. I see we also have obituaries of a few of them in our obituaries index. Best wishes in your search.
