REAVES posted by Cheryl Reaves White on Wednesday, May 19, 1999

I'm trying to trace my Reaves family tree. My oldest known ancestor is James Stephen REAVES Sr. who was born January 10, 1838 in Goldsborough, NC, died July 1, 1910 in Coalgate, Ok. I have no information on his parents, except the family tradition that his father came from Germany and his mother came from Denmak. I would appreciate any information anyone can give me on his parents or his siblings, if any. James Stephen Reaves Sr. married Bille Ried BARN. Their only known child was George Columbus Reaves, born Januray 12,1890; died February 12, 1940, I assume there must have been a male child named James Stephen Reaves Jr., but I have no information on him. At some time my Reaves family moved from NC to Arkansas by way of Oklahoma. Cheryl Reaves White, e-mail gatwood@bellsouth.net
