When exactly was B.F. Reeves born? Who were his parents? Where did he live? Did he live in Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa and where are the records? When did he die and where? Where are the birth records for his 2 daughters, Lucinda and Lomida (Lorinda)? Could they possible have been twins? Any suggestions on where else I might look to find more about B.F. and his ancestors would be greatly appreciated. (There are several B.F. Reeves, listed in Ohio, but either too young or too old?). I've been searching for 15+ years, would sure like to answer these questions. :-) B.F. Reeves married Nancy A. Mann in Knox County, Ohio. The next record I found for them, was the birth certificate of their sons John and Moses in Winabago, Illinois. The 1880 census listed them visiting their daughter Lucinda, in Dunn County, Wisconsin. Their son, William Reeves was living near their daughter. In the census record, it indicates that B.F. Reeves was born in Ohio, and that Nancy was born in Canada. Both children indicate the same information regarding their parents. Lucinda (who also goes by the name of Ellen) indicates that she was born in Iowa, but still I have not been able to find a birth record. 1 Benjamin F. Reeves abt 1817 - .. +Nancy A.
