Richard, What dates do you have on these people? One of my Reeves' grandchildren was named Speed Reeves. George Washington Reeves' son was Abel Reeves' and his son was Christopher Columbus Reeves (#2) and he had a son named Speed L. Reeves who was born abt. 1886. I've been wondering where that name came from. Does any of this sound familar or fit in your time frame? We may have some people in common, I need to do some more checking. Rhonda
