Do you have a wife's name for J.F. Reeves? -----Original Message----- From: reeves-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:reeves-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Bgr520@aol.com Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2007 8:00 PM To: REEVES@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [REEVES] J. F. Reeves in Civil War I have several cards from the archives for the Civil War for J. F. Reeves.. It gives Walton Co as the place he enlisted. This J. F. Reeves could be my half uncle but I haven't been able to prove it. There is a J.F. Reeves buried in Oakland Cemetery in the other half plot of the Reeves Plot where James M. Reeves, (I know was a son of my grandfather's first family)) is buried as I was there with my parents.. There are several Reeves buried there and I believe they were the first family of my grandfather. I did find out that actually the wives brought the cemetery lots. I have the obituary of J. F. Reeves and he was a minister and farmer through the years. He had a large family according to the census but they all died before he did as well as his wife. I am wondering if this J. F. Reeves was the same as the one in the Civil War. I don't have a first name, it wasn't given in his obituary. I am told he was mentioned in the book, "Pioneers of Atlanta". It gives his age as 22 which would be very close (that is within 6 months or year) to the age of family I have from the 1850 census report. If anyone has information on this Reeves or family I would like to hear from you.
