Note: The 1880 Census lists the head of the household as Robert Reeves but this is Drury Pinkney Reeves' family. The wife is Isabelle and the children's names all match along with approximate age matches. I don't know if this was a mistake on the part of the census taker or why the name was changed for this census year. I don't have any indication Drury Pinkney was also known as Robert.
