Children of John R. Reeves and Margaret Anderson:

1. John R. Reeves, b. 20 Aug 1832

There is a marriage bond dated 25 Oct 1831 from Oldham County, Kentucky for this couple. It states Margaret was the daughter of Thomas Anderson of said county. Note that John L. Anderson was appointed guardian of John and Margaret's children. This was probably her brother. Thomas Anderson, probably her father, was security for the bond.

John Anderson indentured John R. Reeves out to David Radcliff as an apprentice and Francis to John Eslinger as apprentice. The record gives the ages of each which indicate John was born 20 Aug 1832 and Francis on 18 Dec 1835. Francis was living wit John Eslinger in Cedar County, Missouri in 1850.
