A "Hiram" Reeves (Reaves) lived in Coweta County - b:1825. He married there and had a family. I wonder if he is the same HIRAM who lived in SC and married in Pendleton District? I hope so - I can hook up the information. I believe the GA wife was named Catherine. I also believe that Jeremiah, Zachariah etc. lived in Union County, SC, moved to Ga, then TN.....I believe that Jane Reaves (Reeves), daughter of Asa Reaves (Reeves) of same family married a Shumate and that Asa died while living with them. Please let me know if any of these names are familiar to you. By the way, the Shoemaker/Shumate, (other spellings) were living every place the Reaves/Reeves lived.
