While looking at the postings concerning the DNA matches, I was very surprised to see that you are descended from Green REEVES. My husband is also a descendant of his. He is from the line of Green REEVES son, Alexander Marion REEVES (the "Blue Belly"). I recently sent you a letter wondering if you had further information on the REEVES line. I didn't know you had an e-mail address. I have not had any luck following the line of Green REEVES, and wondered if you had any further information on him or his wife, Sarah Jane Johnson. I do know that one of Sarah's grandaughters (Matilda FRIEND) was the one that was scalped by Indians in Legion Valley. It would be wonderful to correspond with you concerning the REEVES line.
