12. Frederick Reeves, b. 4 Jun 1842
13. Joseph F. Reeves, d. 4 Aug 1862 (Note - this child is not listed in either the 1850 or the 1860 census in Frederick Reeves' household. The death entry in the Bible was also entered at a much later date and is in a different handwriting. Joseph F. is probably the same person as Frederick, born 1842.)

Frederick Reeves' father John, is undoubtedly 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. Prior to his arrival in Pendleton County at the approximate same time that Burgess Reeves arrived, John Reeves was listed in the tax records of Granville County, North Carolina along with other members of the family of William Reeves who died in Granville County in 1751.

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 as well as in the family Bible of Frederick Reeves.

Frederick Reeves also appears in the 1809 Tax Digest of Jackson County Georgia, p. 57, as "Rieves, Frederick," along with Thomas and John "Reeves", on same page.

In July of 1815 Frederick Reeves received a grant for 200 acres in Jackson County, Georgia.

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.
