As with Steve (and many other Reeves), I descend from Peter but through his son John who was perhaps the result of Peter straying from the reservation, so to speak, since there is opinion that John was the son of Peter and an Indian woman. Any information on John & Minerva and their son Paris/Parish (my GGF) and his siblings is appreciated. Best Regards, Bill Reeves 1.
