    3. Beulah, I could not agree with you more. Having several from each line as much as possible would help so much. It would allow some cross referencing and new sources to check. That is the reason I have tried to encorage new friends like Diane who responded to you. She is surrounded by female ancestors but I have been convinced that she her next male Reeves is Archibald T. That was her position too.If we can find some male descendants that would help a lot and I do think it is possible. Archibald would be a brother to Thompson who was the the ancestor of Robert Reeves of Oklahoma who donated his DNA and wound up in group #3. I feel strongly that Diane would find herself in group #3 as well. Both Archibald and Thompson ( Not mine) would be sons of Burgess Reeves b. 1794. It has been several years since I made some notes on this group in Floyd Co. and my purpose was different. My research was limited to Ancestry.com and some census records. This should not be cut in cement as my dad might say but what research I did although limited led me to believe the following is proably accurate. 1. Jeremiah Reeves who married Jane Brazile began the Jeremiahs as I know them. 2. Jeremiah and Jane had a son named Jeremiah Reeves b. 1772 in Halifax Co. N.C. 3, Jeremiah b. 1772 and Mary Echols had a son named Jeremiah B. b. March 9, 1809 in Pike Co. GA. He died in Jan. 1865. I do not know the location. He was however in Floyd Co. Ga. in 1860 He may have had more than one wife. The wife who was with in 1860 was named Hannah R.L. Reeves. She may have been his only one.I am not sure why I said that she might be second perhaps because she was younger. He is referred to as Jerry B. in the census. It is easy to find on census for Ancestry.com. and lists his children. I can't attach it to the Reeves list though. This was something good to think about. Tommie
