Hi REEVES-L "Rooters" 'Anyone have ANY info on a "James REEVES (?-1827)? In a scientific approach, I'm trying to eliminate the possibility that James REEVES is the father of my own 4th Great Grandfather, John REEVES (b. between 1780-1790 in "eastern VA," d. 1840 in Bartholomew Co., IN). Let me explain... I have a paper, handwritten pedigree chart produced by a Tom Reeves that lists a "James REEVES" (b. 27 DEC 1730 in Prince William Co., VA and d. 24 AUG 1827). He reportedly married a "Sarah" and had at least one son; Van V. REEVES (b. 09 OCT 1795 in Westmoreland Co., PA, d. 25 APR 1872 in Brown Co., OH). A second pedigree chart submitted by a "John G. Fuestel" of Atlanta, GA (obtained from LDS FHC archives) lists a "James REEVES" (b. 1750 in NJ, d. 24 AUG 1827) who married a "Sarah VAN METER" and had a son, "Van Van Meter REEVES (b. 09 OCT 1796 in VA, d. 25 APR 1872 in Rock Island Co., IL). The similarities between names and dates is compelling despite the variances in places. I'm wondering if anyone else knows of other children of "James and Sarah REEVES" or brothers/sisters to "Van V. REEVES?" Greg Reeves REEVES-L Listowner greg@rapidnet.com ------------------------------
