The sons are Matt Reeves born 2/14/1827 died 8/20/1927 and Thomas Jefferson (Jeff) Reeves born 11/16/1869 died 7/12/1916. There is also a son named Wesley. I don't know where he is buried. Matt had children named Ruthie, Loy, and Casey. Jeff had Alvin, Job, Reuben, Dillard, and Maude. Wesley had Birdie, Willie, Kate, Else, Dilly, Jake (Dan). I don't know if these are all of the children of Matt, Jeff, and Wesley. These names were given to me by Ruthie Reeves Hunt. I found no Reeves in the 1835 and 1850 census record of San Augustine County. I would appreciate any help locating others who are interested in researching this family.
