Note: There is said to be a Frederick Reeves' family bible which is the source of birth and death dates. That bible also reportedly names John Reeves as Frederick Reeves father; however, this bible is merely referred to in internet sources and no actual transcription of it has been located.

Frederick Reeves' father is very likely John Reeves who is listed in the 1790 census of Pendleton County, South Carolina with 1 male over 16, 5 males under 16 and 4 females.

Again in Pendleton County, the census of 1800 lists John Reeves' household as - Males - 4 under 10; 2 10-15; 2 16-25; 1 over 45 (total of 8 sons) Females - 1 under 10; 1 10-15; 1 16-25; 1 26-44.

John Reeves's wife is identified as Sarah in a Pendleton SC deed of 1804 which she signed relinquishing her dower right to land being sold by John Reeves to Benjamin Fuller.

By the 1820 census in Gwinnett County, Georgia, eight Reeves male individuals are found - John Reeves, 26-44; Frederick Reeves, 26-44; Jonathan Reeves, 26-44; Loftin Reeves, 26-44; Malachi Reeves, 26-44; Isaac Reeves, 16-25; Burgess Reeves, 16-25; and Thompson Reeves, 16-25. After 1850 when census records include place of birth, the older of these individuals list their birth place as North Carolina while the younger list South Carolina.
