I am so pleased for you as I know when a little light shines through it makes everything worth all the hours that you have put into the research. Please keep us inform of your progress. maybe others can tie into your line. Beulah ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Last week I received an email from someone who was able to connect through a great great granduncle. He was able to provide the first name of my great great great grandfather, Walter Francis Reeves who went to Michigan and served in the War of 1812. At that point I began looking further back. I believe his father was one Daniel Reeves in Delaware County, New York. He is the only Reeves listed in the 1890 (Ulster County) and 1800 censuses, and the children seem to match in this locale. I've been spending a lot of time trying to decipher the Study of the Reeve Family, and believe that Daniel is the son of Walter Reeve where it is listed "we know nothing more of him." So far the dates are matching, as well as naming patterns. The ancestry seems to go back to Robert Reeve of Caldercote. Thomas Reeve being the emigrant to the American colonies. I have been accessing the books and documents at Heritage Quest, and just located Rev War documents on said Daniel. The copies are pretty bad and are very difficult to read, had to take a nap, so will get back to them with fresh eyes. This is so wonderfully exciting.
