William Reeves , son of Malachi and Fortune Reeves of Guilford, and wife Hannah (Smith?) died in Wilkes County Georgia in the early 1800's (Hannah in 1826, William a few years earlier.) Wills and estate papers prove this. I have seen these on film at the Georgia Department of Archives and History as well as in Wilkes County, Georgia, indexes. Is this the couple you speak of?
