I can not get beyond my great grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Reeves (1825-1875), born in Georgia, lived in Talbot and Taylor Counties. Married Mary Buckner. Mary Buckner ( born1826 & died after 1900) was the daughter of Wiley and Judith Buckner. They are all buried in the Buckner Cemetery near Junction City, GA. I have not found the marriage license between Thomas Jefferson Reeves and Mary Buckner but I have found a marriage license in Talbot County between Thomas Jefferson Reeves and a Mary Harrell/Harral dated 2/15/1848 in Talbot County. Thomas apparently was married before or Mary Buckner had been married before. I don't have the answer. There were five children born to Thomas J. Reeves: 1. John Reeves - ca. 1852 2. Elizabeth Reeves (Melvin) - 1855 - 1949 (buried Juliette, GA.) 3. Wiley B. Reeves (1858 - died ca. 1917) - buried Salem Cemetery, Houston Co., Texas. 4. Martha Dranny Reeves (Byers) - (1860 - 1897) buried Buckner Cemetery, Talbot Co., GA. 5. Edward Lafayette Thomas Reeves - (1863 - 1923) Married (1st) Lou Lawrence (a cousin). Lou is buried in the Buckner Cemetery, Talbot Co., GA. Edward married (2nd) Linnie Vann in Taylor County, GA. 7/17/1898. Edward and Linnie came to Houston County, Texas and are buried in the Antioch Cemetery near Lovelady, Texas. Edward and Linnie are my grandparents. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
