Diana, not to my knowledge. Its like they just vanish, and I know that is not the case. I am in the middle of changing my office a round and don't have the details that would help at hand. I will have to make a posting later.

SueD. My inquiry was directed to you but anyone with info..... My family is from TX. We recently found that our grandfather was unoficially adopted by the Cox family in TX as an infant. He took the name of Rudyard Wesley Cox and married Laura Ava Dunsworth... Laura is descended from the Reeves line by was of her mother, Martha (Ann or Amie) Reeves. Her husband was Milton Ivy Dunsworth (approx,1890). Marthas parents.... as far as we know were John Wm. Reeves (DK or DR) married ~1850 to Martha ?? Other names who have recently been discovered are.... Wm. Walter Johnson married Nancy Emeline Reaves Gladys Johnson married James Reeves I dont know how they are related but old family photos say they are....I'm assuming they are all from the lower mid west area ... especially TX and OK... some coming from TN as that is where my grandfathers real mom was from. Her name was Charity Goins/ Johnson/Wallace. We also have the name Leatherman somewhere in the line... but dont know exactly where.... That side of the family has been very closed lipped and we have only been able to ferrit out small pieces of the puzzle at a time...... any help??? Thanks, Diana

Hi Dina If you are asking me Sue Dodson all I know is Orange County Hillsborough NC , If you are asking Sue Stewart please frogive me, God Bless Sue Dodson

Sue: Did your Reeves migrate to the Texas area? Diana

It takes a lot of courage for someone to publicly admit to a mistake. I am very grateful to you for doing so on the Reeves list. I am sure that my message was not what convinced you, but the efforts of those loving friends of yours who helped persuade you that there is a better way to gather your genealogical facts. I also want to apologize to you for my scathing remarks and assure you first, that I did not know you are Carol Clay, (I thought C. Clay was someone you were quoting) and second, I do stand behind my remarks, perhaps with an excuse that involves something like "tough love." You asked in your first email to me several days ago to tell you what I know about the Reeve family. I did not do so. My reason is that I am not yet ready to publish my findings on the Internet. I have not yet completed my study of the Thomas Reeve1 and James Reeve1 controversy, so I am hesitant to broadcast my findings. I do not wish to add any more evidence to the "mess" without first being sure of my evidence. Be assured that I will submit my findings fairly soon and I hope that my efforts will prove a valuable addition to the ongoing study of the early Reeve family. May I wish you all the luck in your search, Carol, and I hope you will find the answers you are looking for. And continue to trust those friends who helped persuade you to change your mind.

Still searching for John Reeves who married Mary Dill from Dillsburg, PA. She died in Tippecanoe, Indiana, if I have the right one, he died in NW Indiana not a whole lot later. However, he could have remarried? Prior to his death? Marriage would have taken place abt 1800, give or take. [email protected]

I apologize for the many errors I made when I sent the Reeve(s) list on the 5th of August, I hope you all disregard it, there were so many errors that I apparently did not see when I sent it. It started with John I Reeve in England and ended with Desdemona Reeves Dill. I am sorry. [email protected]

I only have limited information, but interesting-- In ancient time all the London gatehouses acted as prisons. Newgate, rebuilt by the famous Lord Mayor, Dick Whittington, became the most notorious of the London Gaols. through there, 17,000 convicts passed on their way to America. I could not get the book, so had to settle for a page copy from "English Convicts in Colonial America" Volume 1, Middlesex: 1617 - 1775, by Peter Wilson Coldham, publisher Polyanthos, New Orleans, 1974. The Reeves listed are as follows: Abraham S Reeves, Jan-May s 50 lbs bacon T June 1738 Forward to Md or VA Arabella R Reeves July 1686 Elizabeth Reeves (1699) it then says see Barrenclaugh Elizabeth Reeves, wife of George S Jan T Feb 1733 Smith to Md or Va George Reeves S Oct T Oct 1730 Forward to Va George Reeves S S Apr-May T May 1741 Catherine & Elizabeth to Md Richard Reeves S Jan-Feb 1773 Robert Reeves S Jan T Feb 1724 Anne to Carolina Robert Reeves S July T July 1770 1770 Scarsdale I don't know if the S stands for sailed, and the T stands for through, as in Feb T March? anyone know anything about any of this? Do the names sound familiar? If I get torn apart again, accused of writing facts as in the Enquirer, I will never write again. [email protected]

Carol, I don't really know what transpired regarding someone accusing you of facts as in the Enquirer, but I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate any information that you share. I thought that is what this site is all about. Erroneous information gets passed on in all the genealogical sites that I belong to, but that's where the dialog comes in--someone knows something or has documented something and then shares that. Hopefully, what I'm trying to say makes sense, but the point of my message is to say don't let some nasty know it all keep you from writing and sharing information. Keep on writing to us!

I am trying to find the parents of Mary Taylor (possible nickname of Polly). She was born October 18, 1750 in Morristown, Morris, New Jersey. She married Phineas Reeve. I have also seen her birth date as September 10, 1748 in New Jersey and married to Isaac DeCou (or DeCow). Both of these Mary's have their parents listed as John and Sarah (Quicksall) Taylor. Which Mary is the daughter of John and Sarah (Quicksall) Taylor? Thanks for your help, Carol

Working together does work and one will think of something while another person will go in another direction. We all approach research in a different way. I prove my lines with documents and go that far before making any progress further back in time until I feel sure I have the right line. That is the reason I am stuck on Joel Avery Reeves. I have very slim evidence that Jeremiah is his father. But most everything points in that direction --- in other words it fits like a glove, but I would like to have more definite proof. I am so glad you found a piece of your puzzle and knocked down your brick wall. I get tired of looking at mine sometimes. <BG> Please post your findings and maybe someone can connect to it.

Dear List, After we found matching DNA in our group we began to work with finding the direction that we needed to follow. Leroy Reeves found in Cobb Co. was the last known ancestor for Richard who is a part of our group. Leroy apparently has a brother Littleton Reeves. Thompson Reeves b. 1799 was my oldest proven ancestor. It had always been a point of interest for me that Thompson had a grandson named Littleton Reeves I had never found any connection although the name Littleton is a little rare. The parents of Thompson's Littleton was James Marion and Mary Ann Childers Reeves. They are my great grandparents. After some other leads came up Richard and I felt our line probably headed toward William of Granville in some way through James, Jeremiah, Sr. and Jeremiah's sons JeremiahJr. and Malachiah and maybe some of their children. We have not found that link as yet. Those of you who know me know I am rather expecting to find a John Reeves for my ancestor. Littleton Reeves with Ler! oy does seem to have a John Reeves in his line. Beulah's line goes to Joel Avery Reeves and Barry's line proceeds to Willis the son of William and Elizabeth Lawson Reeves. The process of working with others really helps even if we are just fielding ideas. You feel less alone. My proven ancestor is Thompson Reeves b. 1799 If any of you have any thoughts on these We would be glad to hear. Our group also seeks to find a connection with Joel Avery Reeves and William and Elizabeth Lawson Reeves through their son Willis in addition to Leroy Reeves. Listmate Richard has worked many years in the legal and management department of the NASA Space Program. I know all of us share happiness that the Space Shuttle is on the ground with every one safe. Tommie

I had a John Reeves born ca. 1819 in TN. We think his father was William Reeves. John moved with his family to DeSoto Co. MS. around 1840 (??). I'm wondering if some of those Reeves that were in Pike Co., MS. may have been related to my Reeves?

There is a William Crockett Reeves, b.1835, d.1890, buried in a small family cemetery in Fayette County, Ga. I found this information while searching for the grave of my ancestor William Reeves 1794-1850, also from Fayette County. I'm curious as to whether and how I may be related to William Crockett Reeves, as he lived close to my verified ancestor. If anyone has information on him, I would appreciate hearing from them.
