Research Notes

There were flatstones placed fairly recently in the Medlock Puckett Knight Cemetery in Ware Shoals, Laurens County, South Carolina for Drury Reeves (1809 - 1869) and Elizabeth Mahon Reeves (1815 - 1879).

The maiden name of Elizabeth Mahon, wife of Drury Reeves, is documented in the death record of son Manning Austin Reeves.

This may be the son of Robert Reaves. However, there was another Drury Reeves about the same age and apparently from South Carolina as well, who may be Robert's son.
