Can anyone tie into this line? Beulah http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.dun klin/2290.2.1.1.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My interest was piqued when I saw the surnames of Reeves and Holtzhouser. I am also interested in those families. James T. Reeves married Elizabeth Holtzhouser. They had a daughter Ida Belle Reeves born in 1880. Ida Belle Reeves married James Hodges and that is where the family came from. What I'm interested in is James Reeves' parents. I found James and Elizabeth (Holtzhouser) Reeves living side by side with his brother and wife Samuel and Sarah Reeves in the 1870 census of Dunklin County, MO. Both Samuel and Sarah Reeves died sometime between 1870 and 1880 and their two youngest sons Henry and William Reeves are living with James and Elizabeth Reeves as nephews in the 1880 census of Dunklin County, MO.

It is interesting to note that in 1850 Census of Hickman Cty, TN that Timothy Reeves, Jr. and wife, Ellenor, were living in the household of Elizabeth Steele, age 81, Rachael Steele, age 50, and William Y. Steels, age 21. We know that Timothy, Jr. was the son of Timothy, Sr. and Avarilla Moody and that they were married in Davidson Cty, TN (Nashville). I am wondering if Elizabeth, Rachael, and William Y. Steel are related to the same Steel family. Since Timothy, Jr. and family were living with this Steele family, there could be some connection.

Tommie - I am wondering if you have run across John Reeves, in Pendleton Co SC records c 1810? From research of a mutual cousin, my cousin Lynn found that John was born about 1752 in Granville Co. and died prior to 1820, probably in Pendleton Co, South Carolina. [ we had thought him a son of John/Jonathon, grson of William of Granville, but a DNA test of a different cousin showed no match]. John married Sarah (maiden name unknown) about 1774, probably in North Carolina. Reuben [ my line] said in 1850 census that he was born in NC so the older sons were b NC and possibly the younger son was, or the family could have moved to SC before Wm was born. Family consisted of : James, b 1780 Reuben, Sr. b 1788 Jonathan, Sr. b 1788 William b -1792. Also we think Timothy is a brother, also several daughters, one named Winifred [Winney] who is Lynn's line. If you have ANY record of a JOHN in SC [or NC] that matches this family, I would appreciate hearing. I don't know if he left a will or not or if there were deeds, etc. I know you are doing so much in Pendleton Co and I thought you might have run across this JOHN and not known who he was. Any help would be appreciated.

Most interesting! It figures that the Neanderthals could have red-heads, too, because the orangutans also have redheads and they are even farther down the evolutionary line. Guess we aren't so unique after all. ;o) Thanks!

____________________________________ Red-headed Neanderthals? DNA says yes: study Thu Oct 25, 4:42 PM ET CHICAGO (AFP) - Some of our cave-dwelling Neanderthal relatives probably had red hair and fair complexions, much like modern-day humans of Celtic origin, according to a study released Thursday. The finding comes from the first such analysis of DNA evidence taken from Neanderthal fossils recovered from El Sidron in northern Spain and Monti Lessini, Italy. An analysis of the DNA revealed the ancient hominids carried a mutation in the MC1R gene that codes for a protein involved in the production of melanin -- a substance that gives skin its color and also protects it against ultraviolet light. In modern humans, primarily of European descent, mutations in the MC1R gene are thought to be responsible for red hair and pale skin by dampening the activity of the protein. The mutation observed in the Neanderthal genes was different from the one documented in humans, but when scientists inserted the Neanderthal gene into cells in a test tube, it seemed to have the same effect on melatonin production as the modern human genes, according to the study published in Science. The genetic analysis doesn't seal the deal, but since the fossil record of Neanderthals does not include any samples of skin or hair, it is the best guide available, said Michael Hofreiter, a paleogeneticist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology Leipzig, Germany. Hofreiter said the number of red-headed Neanderthals was probably pretty small, possibly just one percent of the population and might have popped up in any part of Europe or Asia that the ancient hominids had settled. The news did not come as a surprise to one leading scholar of Neanderthal evolution and biology. "The stereotype of primitive peoples is that they are dark skinned, but some paleontologists have been speculating for 20 years that some Neanderthals must have been pale skinned because they lived in northern Europe," said Erik Trinkaus, a professor of anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. "Light skin is adaptive at higher altitudes because it allows more UVB radiation to penetrate the skin and that promotes Vitamin D synthesis." Neanderthals, whose ancestors diverged from that of modern humans about 300,000 years ago, colonized Europe and parts of Asia, dominating Europe until about 30,000 years ago. The study suggests that the genes that confer pale skin and red hair evolved separately in humans and our closest extinct relatives. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Beulah and Listers, My interest began for the George Reeves/Rives line of New Brunswick Co. Va. when I discovered that William Steele Reeves of that line was born in Pendleton Dist. S.C. ca. 1795.I wanted to learn more about this family since several of the men surrounding my Thompson Reeves was in the Pendleton Dist. S.C. about the same time. I wanted very much to see if Thompson may have had a close relationship with them in some way. George Reeves b. Jan 12, 1715/1716 married Mary Jordan. That is where the Jordan name came from. They gave birth to nine children. To tell my report I need to mention that George and Mary Jordan Reeves had a son named George Reeves b. 1767 He married for the first time Polly Steele. They gave birth to the one child William Steele. When William was a toddler his mother died. It seems that William's father,George, allowed his sister Charlotte to be a guardian for William Steele permanently. The father later remarried but there is no indication that William Steele ever returned to his father's home. Charlotte was about 17 years older than her brother George the father of William Steele. Charlotte was married to James Robertson. This couple were very active in working to protect the rights of others. Charlotte and James joined a group in migrating to the Tennessee area. They traveled down river with the men riding horses on the bank and the women manning the flatboats. There was great danger from Indians on this trip and when necessary the women put the children under the mattresses and used their oars to defend themselves against attack. They finally pulled onto land to end this journey in a place that is now present day Nashville TN.They built a fort and continued a dangerous adjustment to the surroundings Today there stands a statue to Charlotte Reeves Robertson near this spot.She was a brave and very spunky lady. When William Steele was mature he married and migrated to Arkansas for a few years. He had a son named George Robertson Reeves who married in Arkansas just prior to the group moving on to Texas near the Oklahoma and Texas border. Shortly after arrival George Robertson Reeves was employed as a book keeper for the local county or town. After 2 years he was elected as the County Sherriff for two terms. He then sought office as a Texas State Representative and was re-elected several times.When the Civil War began George Robertson Reeves enlisted and helped to organize a company to serve. After succuessful service in the Cival War he returned to the Texas State House of Representatives. At the end of one session when he returned home he was bitten by his own dog and died from the effects of the bite.When the legislature opened again it was discussed that in West Texas there was a county that was much too large and sprawling. It was decided it was needed to be cut in half and have a new county created. It was decided also that the new county would be named Reeves County in honor of George Robertson Reeves. Interesting family.I had a correspondence with a lady from Sherman, Texas who was descended from George Robertson Reeves. If you are still in contact with the researcher you knew, Beulah I will try to help get them in contact with the nice lady I knew. Tommie

Tommie, I received these papers on George Reeves from a lady in Clarksville TN. I couldn't help her. She said most of their ancestors and present day family used Rives, Reves, Some of the more recent names that they were looking for were Miles Reves/Reeves was brother to Joel. He was the son of Jordan. She gave the name of Miles wife as Ann Pace. This is one statement she made. Enclosed is a list of the slaves of Miles Reeves taken from estate settlement. Not e the name Jordan. Both Miles and Joel had a slave named Jordan. Neither had a son by that name so it may be a coincidence or they were not fond of their father. Bot h have a son by the name Joseph. Our Miles named his first son Joseph. this must have been a dear name to him in the family. I came in of the Joel as she was hoping my Joel Avery was the same Joel but it wasn't. There were one or two other Joel Avery's or Joel that have been mixed up with mine. James son of Jeremiah and bvrother to my Joel Avery named a son Joel Avery. It is said Malachi did also but the boy died young in life. There were one in Ga and I think one in SC that had the same name. This may give some of the Reeves a clue if they are related to this family. There are some land records etc here also. Hope this will help someone. But back to Ichabod 's will. I have seen wills where the father didn't leave all the children something. Joel Avery left a dollar / maybe it was 5 dollars I would have to look to be sure but think it was a dollar. He stated that he did that so they knew they were not forgotten. My way of thinking they left the surrounding area and he gave them what he could or thought was necessary at that time. I have another will from AL that did about the save ... the father stated he gave them $5.00 a gun, horse or whatever when they left and that was sufficient. Guess Ichabod didn't think it was necessary to do that. Or he may have had lapses of memory or possibly he was mad with them. Sometimes our ancestors didn't think about what impressions they left or cared at all. Probably didn't think about anything like that......... That is what so much fun in Genealogy you learn a lot and sometimes have a good laugh. Thanks Beulah In a message dated 10/25/2007 12:18:26 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, tommiess@sbcglobal.net writes: Good Work Beulah, I have used part of my evening to look through old papers also. I did find a small copy of a small will of Icabod signed on Dec 23, 1836. Oddly though he only mentioned as children to receive inheritances , Simeon W.,Mary Ann, Samuel N. and James H. He mentions his wife but does not call her by name. Perhaps he had already given gifts to the others or they had died or perhaps were not in favor with him. I did not see that it showed the county or state. It was witnessed by William Tunstall, Joseph Herring and William Johnson. When possible I hope to see what I can dig up on some of the sons as far as male descendants.It well may be that someone just typed the message. It is not written by hand. I may have been the one to give you the material on the George Reeves, son of Thomas. Theirs is a very interesting family. Due to the fact it is 11:00 p.m. here in Texas I will post pone getting into it tonight but if anyone wants to hear it let me know. If you have a copy of the Reeves Review II it contains a story about Charlotte Reeves and the migration to what we know as Nashville Tn. Today. She was a gutsy lady and a statue stands near the river area in Nashville today to her honor. They did not turn out to be especially close ancestors to me. Thanks for all your work Beulah.

This is all I have found so far and it was in the DAR papers. Will look for more tomorrow. Also found other papers on a George Reeves son of Thomas Rives of St. Andrews Parish, Brunswick Co., VA. George was b in 1716 and d 19 Feb 1803 at the home of his daughter Charlotte Reeves Robertson wife of General James Robertson, at Traveler's Rest in Nashville TN. There is so much of this that someone sent me years ago I would have to scan and send to those who might be interested in this line. Can't offer to do it tonight. Too late to start another project. I did not do this research --it was sent to me.

Good Work Beulah, I have used part of my evening to look through old papers also. I did find a small copy of a small will of Icabod signed on Dec 23, 1836. Oddly though he only mentioned as children to receive inheritances , Simeon W.,Mary Ann, Samuel N. and James H. He mentions his wife but does not call her by name. Perhaps he had already given gifts to the others or they had died or perhaps were not in favor with him. I did not see that it showed the county or state. It was witnessed by William Tunstall, Joseph Herring and William Johnson.
