    1. [REEVES] Reeves Roll Call
    2. Billy Reeves
    3. Here is my Reeves line starting with my father. Who: Arthur Fane Reeves Born When: 1907 - Where: Finley, Dyer County, Tennessee Died When: 1985 - Where: Dyersburg, Dyer County, Tennessee Married: Emmie Elizabeth Turnbo - When: 1941 - Where: Caruthersville, Pemescot County, Missouri Who: Samuel Wesley Reeves Born When: 1876 - Where: Henderson County, Tennessee Died When: 1954 - Where: Finley, Dyer County, Tennessee Married: Emma Purmutha Smith - When: 1898 - Where: Finley, Dyer County, Tennessee Who: James Lee Reeves Born When: 1833 - Where: Henderson County, Tennessee Died When: 1910 - Where: Finley, Dyer County, Tennessee Married: Martha Jane Pritchett - When: 1854 - Where: Henderson County, Tennessee Who: Richard Elwell Reeves Born When: 1788 - Where: Cumberland County, North Carolina Died When: 1890 - Where: Decatur County, Tennessee Married: Eliza Miller - When: 1824 - Where: Roane County, Tennessee Who: John Durden Reeves Born When: 1759 - Where: Halifax County, North Carolina Died When: 1840 - Where: Surry County, North Carolina Married: Sally Locke Elwell - When: about 1787 - Where: Fayetteville, Cumberland County, North Carolina Who: Possibly Could Be “George Reeves” born in VA. This is where we have stalled. We have John D Reeves Revolutionary War Pension Application but it doesn’t give any parental info. I have found a George Reeves married to a Miss Durden. I know this George Reeves had a son named Richard R Reeves and Thomas Reeves (could have been John D Reeves’ brothers) and a Richard R Reeves was a bondsman on Richard E Reeves marriage license in Kingston, Roane County TN on Jan 25, 1824. Richard R Reeves was in Kingston, Roane County, Tennessee prior to Richard E Reeves’ arrival and must have reached the age of 50 yrs or purchased land because the poll tax ceased in 1822. I found my gg grandfather Richard E Reeves in three different locations in Roane County TN from poll tax records. The George Reeves I suspect as being my 4th great grandfather was involved in a land deal in Surry and Isle of Wright VA. He was also a Capt of a company of Colonial War Era Minutemen. I have ordered some records on his son Richard R Reeves and will, hopefully, get through a side door with that info. Any leads anyone may be able to provide will be appreciated.
