I have enjoyed the many postings I've viewed on this mailing list, but to the best of my feeble remembrance haven't posted anything yet. I will do so now in the hopes of connecting with someone of common ancestry. My earliest known ancestor was James Milton Reeves, born in Jasper Co., Ga. in 1823. His father, name unknown to me, is said to have been born in SC. James M. Reeves moved to Crawford County, Ga, and had the following children: Martha, John, William, Thomas, James, Ethan, Jasper, Milly, Gaught Gurley, Louisa, Gertien, Jean, Joe and Herschell (don't know when he found time to farm!). Not sure of spelling of all names, as census records were inconsistent, but that's close. Gaught Gurley was my grandfather, and he had children named Massey, A.L., Floyd, Ed, Amos , Leonard, Rodolphus, Alma and Lona. If you have run across my line in tracing your own, please let me know. I have not been able to find out the name of James M. Reeves father, which has stalled my research. Thanks, Paul Reeves ------------------------------
