I only have limited information, but interesting-- In ancient time all the London gatehouses acted as prisons. Newgate, rebuilt by the famous Lord Mayor, Dick Whittington, became the most notorious of the London Gaols. through there, 17,000 convicts passed on their way to America. I could not get the book, so had to settle for a page copy from "English Convicts in Colonial America" Volume 1, Middlesex: 1617 - 1775, by Peter Wilson Coldham, publisher Polyanthos, New Orleans, 1974. The Reeves listed are as follows: Abraham S Reeves, Jan-May s 50 lbs bacon T June 1738 Forward to Md or VA Arabella R Reeves July 1686 Elizabeth Reeves (1699) it then says see Barrenclaugh Elizabeth Reeves, wife of George S Jan T Feb 1733 Smith to Md or Va George Reeves S Oct T Oct 1730 Forward to Va George Reeves S S Apr-May T May 1741 Catherine & Elizabeth to Md Richard Reeves S Jan-Feb 1773 Robert Reeves S Jan T Feb 1724 Anne to Carolina Robert Reeves S July T July 1770 1770 Scarsdale I don't know if the S stands for sailed, and the T stands for through, as in Feb T March? anyone know anything about any of this? Do the names sound familiar? If I get torn apart again, accused of writing facts as in the Enquirer, I will never write again. [email protected]
Carol, I don't really know what transpired regarding someone accusing you of facts as in the Enquirer, but I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate any information that you share. I thought that is what this site is all about. Erroneous information gets passed on in all the genealogical sites that I belong to, but that's where the dialog comes in--someone knows something or has documented something and then shares that. Hopefully, what I'm trying to say makes sense, but the point of my message is to say don't let some nasty know it all keep you from writing and sharing information. Keep on writing to us!
