Indiana death certificates of Jordan W. Reeves, Martha Jane Cooper, and Frank Reeves give their mothers name as Eliza/Elizabeth Longmire.

Son William appears in the Civil War Draft Registration in Delaware County, but has not been traced beyond. There is not evidence of a daughter named Mary beyond a reference to Mary A. Howell as sister of Jordan and Frank. But this was probably Nancy.
