Of course there were other Reeves scattered in different counties in SC. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara Nelson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 19, 2004 10:16 AM Subject: Re: [SC-OPD] Land Grant and Land Lotteries > Ms. Kirkland: > Do you have any REAVES/REEVES?

Thank you so much. My Asa was b: Pendleton Dist between 1794-1802 (m: Clarinda (unk)....son: Hiram Reeves).....I can't get past Acy, (Asa, Ansel, etc.) no matter how long I work at it. I would think his father was JOHN, but Asa never shows up on John's family. Every generation including Asa has had a John. Thanks so much. Barb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wilma C.
