Listers, and James and Diane who contacted me recently, About 20 years ago I communicated several times with Mrs. Iris Mayo. She is the author of a book " Those Reeves Girls". I have not seen it but it was a work about some sisters and their downlines. She was able to travel to S.C. and do research herself in dusty storage rooms. She was meticulous in her research and very helpful and generous to me. Because of this I am very comfortable with the Burgess being married to Elizabeth Tanner and the names of their children. Archibald T. and his brother Thompson b. 1832 were in the same unit in the Cival War. They both survived, Six of their brothers died in other areas of the war. Without knowing their names my father, Thomas Van Buron Reeves b.1896, knew about this large family, the deaths of six of the sons and the relationship to his grandfather. I remember his telling us about it in our home After her research Mrs. Iris Mayo stated that she had never found any indication that the older Burgess Reeves b.ca. 1764 had a son named Burgess. I am very anxious to find the father of Burgess b. 1794. If any of you find any reasearch on that I would be so happy to hear from you. I have a copy of that roster somewhere. I am looking for it. In the same unit with Archibald T and Thompson b. 1832 was Lt. Andrew Jackson the youngest son of my Thompson b. 1799 Andrew Jackson Reeves was b.ca 1832. There were also a few names of soldiers from the Moore Family. They were the sons of My Thompson's daughter Frances Elizabeth Reeves and her husband, Idens Moore. Also in the same unit was Charles S. Black the husband of Thompson's daughter, Ellen Elizabeth. There was a Sgt. Sharp in the unit. Thompson's daughter Polly who was my ancestor married Samuel Sharp Scott, JR. His grandmother was connected to this Sharp familly. This whole unit seems to have been made up of persons who were connected and well aquainted. Not true I am sure there are many I did not know. When you see a census for Burgess and Elizabeth Tanner Reeves you sometimes see a minor John Estes and his two siblings. Sarah the daughter of Burgess and Elizabeth married a Reuben Estes who apparently died and the children were reared by Burgess and Elizabeth. Hope I have not confused you too much. Ask me over if I did. I also apologize to Lucinda Rilla Reeves usually called Cinderella. She is the one and only wife of my Thompson Reeves b. 1799. I just so often fail to mention her. She is the mother of all of Thompson's children.

Wow! Thanks for all of this information. I have corresponded with Tommie and she's given me some of this info--she is the one who suggested that Archibald might be the father of my Marietta. It helps so much to have some names--at least it is a place for me to start. I recall Randolph Co., Ala. being mentioned in some of the information that I've gathered so far.

This reply is for Diane and anyone it might help including Tommie Reeves Smith. Sure hope it is the right Marietta and that it helps. It helps to view this e-mail in full page. Archibald Reeves – Timeline Son of: Date: Who and What: 1800 Census The 1800 Census for Orange Co. N C list: Archibald Rieves age 16-26 b. 1774-1784 in ? He is listed with 2 Females one appears to be his wife and the other is old enough to be his mother over 45. One or more trees give an Archibald as the son of Burgess Reeves. 1840 Census The 1840 Census for Campbell (now Fulton) Co. Ga. list: Archibald Reeves age 20-30 b. 1810-1820 and one other male the same age, a female the same age and a female under 5. This could be a son or cousin of the 1800 N C Archibald and is probably the one listed below in 1850 Newton Co. GA.although this one seems to be a son of Burgess, who was not far away in DeKalb Co.Ga. 1850 Census The 1850 Census of Newton Co. Ga. list the following: Burgess b. 1794 Archibald Reeves age 33 b. 1817 in Ga. Mary age 31 b. 1819 in S C. Elizabeth age 12 b. 1838 in Ga. William age 10 b. 1840 in Ga. Annes m. age 8 b. 1842 in Ga. Thomas age 6 b. 1844 in Ga. Frances f age 11 b. 1849 in Ga. Marietta age 2 b. 1848 in Ga. Note: Covington Ga. is in Newton Co. 1860 Census The 1860 Census of Randolph Co. Al. list an : Burgess b. 1794 A. T. Reaves age 44 b. 1816 in Ga. Archibald T. Mary age 42 b. 1818 in S C. M. B. m. age 19 b. 1841 in Ga. A. R. m. age 17 b. 1843 in Ga. Thomas age 14 b. 1846 in Ga. Frances f. age 12 b. 1848 in Ga. Martha age 11 b. 1849 in Ga. This is probably Marietta from above Oscar age 9 b. 1851 in Ga. Martha age 3 b. 1857 in Ga. Emily age 1 b. 1859 in Ga. This could very well be the son of Burgess Reeves since he follower him to Randolph Co. Al. along with a brother Seaborn Reeves b.1828 who is on the same1860 Census page with A. T. There is a family of Wm Griffin at the bottom of the next page with a son R. M. of the right age for Rufus Marion. Rome Ga. is not that far from Randolph Co. Al. so that they could have joined the Confederate Army there. 1870 Census The 1870 Census of Randolph Co. list an: Arch. T. age 58 b. 1812 in Ga. Mary Sr. age 52 b. 1818 in S C. Mary Jr. age 16 b. 1854 in Ga. Oscar age 13 b. 1857 in Ga. Martha age 11 b. 1859 in Al. Emily age 9 b. 1861 in Al. Archibald age 8 b. 1862 in Al. Burgess Estes age 17 b. 1853 in Ga. Ann Estes age 18 b. 1852 in Ga. This seems to be the same one as the 1850 Newton Co. Ga. and the 1860 Randolph Co.Al.

A tiny blob of ink could cause an e to look like an a or visa versa. Having worked with courthouse records for years I have never heard of people telling the clerk what to write......The clerk records from the original, today the original is scanned into computers...No chance for mistakes....I am glad I never had to write with a quill pen for hours, I might be prone to shorten words....and that was the days when if you hired an attorney or someone who could read and write they charged by the number of words which is why we have so many words in legal documents that have nothing to do with what you want to say. Happy Huntin' DeMona

This is the reason I look at all names now. In the first land deed I found for my Joel Avery Reeves. His name was spelled as I just type it, but at the end it was written Reaves. They evidently didn't know which way to spell it. In Joel Avery's will several mistakes were made due to spelling. He had one daughter who married Wyatt T. Heard but it looked like Hurd. However another daughter married a Heard and it was spelled correctly. I spent several years looking for the Hurds. Also one thing to watch for is the old script. So many old documents were written and it is hard for researchers to decipher unless you study old script. There is a site online you can go to but right now I seem to have lost the url but if I find it I will post it. I don't know how these things were recorded. but I would think they may have been done by someone and brought in to the court to be notarized and then copied in the books. Or did the clerk sit there and write it as they told him what they wanted? So many mistakes could happen that way. I really don't know but if anyone does I would like to know as I've thought about it quite a few times. Beulah

Hi, I am in the process of going through court and land records from Surry,Rowan,Iredell North Carolina in the years 1750 thru 1825 on these particular documents have found the overwhelming majority of the spelling to be Reavis or Reaves. These records are the originals on microfilm. It is very possible some of these people are Reeves and the county Clerks who wrote the deeds spelled the name the same for every one. I have noticed when I am going through books looking for Reeves the authors seem to throw all of the spellings together whether it is Reeves or Reaves Reavis. I have even gone to the original documents and the spellings are different than what the author has written in their books. So it pays to check the original. Even as late as 1870 my gg grandfather Edmond Reeves was enumerated as Edmond Reves. So it is worthwhile to look at every spelling. Sharon

James: This is wonderful.....We can check each spelling and, hopefully, reach an acceptable conclusion for our families. Thanks.

That was good work, James, I will keep a copy to look at as I go. I know it is true that in some localities, say one county, that the name is spelled one way and in the next census after a move it is spelled another way. That was true in 1830 Newton Co.Ga. my Thompson Reeves and all other persons with our surname to my knowledge were recorded as REAVES. That was the only time I know that Thompson was recorded in a census as anything other than Reeves. There are a couple of things that I think apply at least some of the time or did in those days. I have been told by knowledgeable people or read that persons really thought they were more sophisticated if they could spell the same thing various ways. Sometimes it was in a legal document more than one way. Also (this one is my thinking,) The cenus takers got a few cents for each name written down. Over muddy or mountainous terrain I would thing they would jot it down as quickly as possible. They would want to get on the way . What a temptation to put it down just the way they thought it sounded and not ask too many questions. James, you were talking about the family coming from N.C. to S.C. then Ga. The pathway that led from S.C. to Ga. was the Savannah River. In a book about title transfers in the Pendleton Dist. S.C. He showed many transfers of property between Reeves and other individuals as they moved down the tributaries of the Savannah River down to Savannah and Georgia. Jasper, Jackson and Gwinnett were fairly near the River area and were some of the first homes of the family. I am sure something similar happened from S.C. to Kentucky my searching is limited there. Tommie

I have been working with Ancestry's census records lately for N C,S C, and Ga. so in view of the recent discussions I decided to see what the early records held. It seems that the preferred spelling by the Census Enumerators was Reeves and Reaves.And it seems that that preference holds true through today with the way names have evolved. The enumerators seemed to hold consistent within the counties they were working on but seemed to be less consistent with the variant spellings indicating that some people actually knew how their ancestors spelled their names. This seems to be true for variations with different pronunciations like Reavis, but it seems that even some of them changed over time. The enumerators for Surry Co N C seemed to prefer Reavis in 1790 and Reaves in 1800, these people may have changed back later. You can follow the same first names from the Carolinas thru Ga. and west and find them changing the way the surname was spelled. Anyone that insist on following t! he current spelling of a surname back through time is in for a rude awakening, and some do. And as Beulah said our DNA project may be the only way to put some of the groups together. I only hope that every one gets with the project while their is still someone around who cares and will do the paper trail that is necessary. We need to do it for future generations. 1790 Census for N C For S C 23 Reeves 19 Reeves 16 Reaves 7 Reaves 1 Reives 0 Reives 6 Rieves 1 Rieves 1 Reves 1 Reves 7 Rives 4 Rives 1 Reavs 1 Reeve 5 Reavis 0 Reavis 1800 Census for N C For S C 17 Reeves 16 Reeves 14 Reaves 2 Reaves 1 Reives 0 Reives 2 Rieves 1 Rieves 6 Reves 3 Reves 0 Rives 1 Rives 1 Reave 1 Reeve 3 Reavis 0 Reavis Following these people from the Carolinas it seems that some came south into Ga. before going west, some went west through Tenn. and some went North into Ky,, Ohio and Ill. and a few stayed put in the Carolinas. These people may hold the key to putting groups together by DNA testing. Sincerely, James

I know there are different spellings of the surnames. Mine is Reeves but have seen it spelled different ways. I subscribe to many variations of the Reeves List. I posted the items simply to help anyone that could use them. If some of the Reavis or any spelling of the surname joined out DNA project that would show any difference in lines. We would welcome anyone with the surname of Reeves, Rieves, Reaves, Rives, Ryves or any other spelling to our project. It certainly would help to solve some age old mysteries. Beulah I have the book decendants of the Revis and Reavis Family in America it was complied and written by Barbara Lucas. in 2002 The people you mention are listed in her book as part of the Reavis family. Barbara Lucas is a researcher for the Reavis family and is very adamant that no Reeves are Reavis. She says the Reavis family pronounces their name as in crevice not with the long e. There is a Reavis mailing list on Roots web with tons of information on their research and they have a web site. What I would do is post on Reavis message boards what you have sent me and see what response you will get.Also get in touch with Barbara Lucas and see what she says. As for the documents I have looked at in Surry I didnt find any Reeves spellings they were mostly Reavis Revis Reaves. These were court records and land records.If you look at books most authors lump these names together and I have found by looking at the original you find the correct spelling at that time. Everything in my research points to the fact my Reeves are mixed up with the Reavis family and it it very difficult to prove when someone has taken their land records and say they belong to their family. Sharon

Sharon:Here are surnames for ASA REAVES/REEVES from census reports. I know he's the same one as his spouse and family members are the same. My theory is that census takers wrote it like they spoke it...... 1800 Rievers Rieves (his brother's spelling) 1830 Reaves Rives Reavis 1840 Reves Reavis forward: Reeves His first name was spelled:Asa/Acil/Asel/Asahal/Ansel. Go figure......the names crosses from census to census - on real estate transfers, etc.....Some in the Greenville, SC City Directory changed from year-to-year....even businesses....one year "market"...next year "grocery store"...etc. Thank you so much.

There is a John Reeves B. 1750 in Lancaster, Pa, son of James Reeves B. Wales, D. 1756 in New Jersey this is ancestry.com so maybe, maybe not. C
