Jan, My answer has nothing to do with DNA. In previous communiction with another reseacher, I am told there is an Austin Smith Reeves who was born in 1757 who married Abigail, His proposed parents are Benjamin b. 1721 and Sarah. Benjamin's proposed father is George an immigrant who married Ann Doggett. Could Austin B. be the son of Austin Smith Reeves? The source given for the information was " Daughters of the American Colonists in Missouri History and Lineage Book" pp 310-311 The author was not given to me. Hope this helps. Good Luck. Tommie
