Reeves, Jennings Rooker (b. 12 DEC 1803, d. 16 JUL 1879)

Reference: 709

Change: Date: 08 AUG 1998

Note: I am 95ŕonvinced that this is Stephen D Reeves' Father. I
base this on many pieces of information collected from a number
of sources as follows: Census of 1870: Reeves, J. R. age 66
Male White - Real Estate $920, Personal $500 he is listed as
a farmer living near Gadsden, Tennessee on July 30, 1870. he
was born in South Carolina. Wife Eliza 58 born in NC.
daughters Martha 25 born NC and Susan 17 born TN.
A land deed dated November 15, 1873 between S. D. Reeves and
Kenan Williams lists a J. R. Reeves as a witness to the
transaction.
Stephen D Reeves entry in the 1880 census says his father was
from South Carolina.
The dates and places all seem to fit. I am listing Stephen as
a member of this family although I am continuing to search for
additional proof that they are indeed related. BLR -

Jennings Rooker Reeves is mentioned in the book 'REEVES REVIEW
BOOK II' by Emma Barrett Reeves (c) 1982.
July 17, 1990 - I spoke to Mrs. Lois Hamilton of Trenton,
Tennessee who called in response to my letter to Mr. Clarence
Eugene Reeves dated March 28, 1990. She and her sister have
been researching their families for over thirty years. She gave
me the following information about J. R. Reeves:
He was listed in the census of 1860 as J. R. Rives age 55, his
wife Eliza age 45 from N.C. and their children William T. (22),
Stephen D. (19), Martha (14), Eliza (12), Sarra Jane (10), and
Susan (8).
He and his family and mother and brothers came to Gadsden,
Tennessee on April 27, 1847. Correction: H. J. Priestley says
in his book about the Reeves that the older sons of Willis
Reeves came to Crockett County about 1844.
