Narrative

When the 1860 census was taken, Nancy Reeves, widow of William Reeves and her children are listed in the household of Daniel and Mary Reeves both of whom were born in South Carolina. Additionally a Betsie Ross, age 15, is listed in that household along with the following children whose parents are not clearly identified. All of these children with the exception of 5 month old Sarah may be children of William Reeves and Nancy, his widow.

1. James Reeves, b. 1851
2. Caroline Reeves, b. 1853
3. Nancy Reeves, b. 1854
4. Martha Reeves, b. 1856
5. William Reeves, b. 1860, 8 months of age
6. Sarah E. Reeves, b. 1860, 5 months of age

Research Notes

The use of the given names Stephen and Daniel among these families in DeKalb County appears to suggest that they may have been members of the Reeves' family of Revolutionary War soldier Daniel Reeves. The families of several of Daniel Reeves' sons have never been identified and thoroughly researched.
