Research Notes

This was formerly thought to be a son of William J Reeves. However the 1900 census states that he is a grandson of William J. and Mandy. In addition, the census states Mandy had six children, five living at the time of the 1900 census. Those five are already accounted for, meaning that William A. cannot be their son. Perhaps he was a son of one of the William's daughters or a the sixth child who had died before 1900.
