Research Notes

The middle initial on the census appears to be "R". However this is a record from the Mississippi Archives for a Civil War Military gravestone for Jacob Levi Reeves buried in James Cemetery in Polkville, Mississippi. The next of kin is listed as daughter Mrs. Lizzie Wengate. Lizzie Wengate is listed between sons George W. and John R. on the 1900 census. She is not listed on the 1880 The Social Security Application & Claims Index lists her parents as Jacob Reeves and Nancy Cooper.
