Greetings from the UK Firstly the corresponding UK list is [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) I've been sitting quietly on this list for a while. My primary interest is with my maternal Reeves family whose roots are in the New Forest area of Hampshire. My earliest record is for Israel REEVES born circa 1747 and buried 19 Sept 1828 at Fawley, Hampshire. If anybody is interested in a fuller list, please e-mail me or come join the REEVES-UK list. And sorry folks, I have no surviving direct male line kinsfolk I can volunteer for the DNA testing :-( My sister moved to the US some 20+ years ago and married into a family who included in their roots the REEVES name - pure coincidence - we have no proven or even suspected connections. The earliest name I have on the US REEVES family is William A REEVES who I understand was born 26 Nov 1828 in SC and married Rovanna MOSS (1841-1915) on 8 Jul 1858 in Jasper, GA. and died 8 Mar 1902 in Pickens Co, GA Their son was William Davis Reeves (b 19 Sept 1861, Picken Co, GA) who married Elizabeth B. (aka Sis) Mosley (1864-1948) on 6 Feb 1881, Jasper Co, GA I was given some documentation a few years back, but have done very little to help my nephew and niece progress the US Reeves line. They have to make do with their uncle droning on about the UK Reeves family. Who knows, when all the brick walls eventually stop my researches in the UK, I'll turn my attention further west. Could I also make one suggestion (no, its really a plea). Please remember there are those of us not so familiar with US geography, so if you would kindly always clearly indicate county AND state that would be a great help. Kindest regards, Martin Barker from Kent, England

Gary and Ruth: I thought that I descended from Malachi and Rhoda Howell, but since have found out different. I descend from Abner Reeves and wife Sarah Wright. Probably where the confusion came in was that my Grandmother was Martha Adeline Archer, daughter of Alba and Nancy Jane Reeves. Nancy Jane daughter of Tyre Reeves. What I would like to know, do you have any thing on Abner and his family? The info on the internet is so mixed up, I have about given up. I am not able to go to the Library any more, so have to depend on nice people like you all and internet. Can you help? This Nancy Jane married second to Hiram Howell. Is there a connections with Rhoda?
