Research Notes

Y-DNA results of a descendant of William Carroll Reeves is a 36 of 37 marker match to two descendants of Green B. Reeves who died in Dripping Springs, Hays County, Texas in 1884. Green B. Reeves descends from William Reeves and Susan Hunter who migrated from Greenville/Spartanburg counties area of South Carolina to Christian County, Kentucky around 1800. This DNA match may indicate that Ambrose Reeves was also descended from that extended family as well as being related to other matching participants of DNA Group 4.
