Research Notes

The following record from Humphreys County, Tennessee Court Probate Minutes from 1844 may concern this George:

On motion it is ordered by the court that B. B. Spicer be appointed Guardian for George W. Reeves minor heir at law of Edmund Rives decd and the said B. B. Spicer appeared in open court together with C. C. Hainis? & Joseph H. Long his securities thereto and entered into and acknowledged their bond in the sum of fifteen hundred dollars conditioned as the law directs.

Another record from the same year refers to B. B. Spicer as the "former guardian of G. W. Reeves minor heir of Edmund Reeves decd."

This individual may actually be the same as George Washington Rives.
