The Current Story for Group 04
DNA Group 04 is an enigma involving Reeves individuals plus individuals from two other surnames. There are four individuals with the surname Reeves in Group 04:
- Dr. Johnnie Lee Reeves who descends from Green Reeves, born 1808/09 in Kentucky;
- Max Herbert Reeves and George Carrol Reeves descend from Renney Brommett Reeves, born 1824 in Louisiana whose father is believed to be a James Reeves; and
- Melvin Lee Reeves, Jr. who descends from Ambrose Reeves, born circa 1825 in Tennessee or Missouri.
George Washington Davison, born 1873 in Arkansas is an exact 67 marker match to the descendant of Ambrose Reeves and a 36 of 37 marker match to Green Reeves and Dr. Johnnie Lee Reeves. Participant Bobby Ray Green descends from James Henry Green, Sr. born 1833 in North Carolina and is a 64 of 67 marker match to Melvin Lee Reeves, Jr. as well as a 34 of 37 marker match to the other Reeves testers and 35 of 37 markers to George W. Davison. FtDNA's system also includes one other tester with the surname Green who matches this group but has not joined the Reeves DNA Project.
DNA Group 04 members have a somewhat monumental task ahead of them in order to find their common ancestor and unravel the current confusion but hopefully that will be possible as more original records are placed online and eventually more DNA matches will be forthcoming.
