Dear Miss
I've just come across your query concerning the Reeves Rives-Crooke families in The Virginia Genealogist, Vol 8, No . 2, April-June, 1964
During the past several years I've done a great deal of work on the Reeves-Rieves-Rives family, including two inter marriages with people named Crook or Crooke. I'm a descendant of Burgess Reeves (Burgis Rives) , born in 1746 in what became Granville Co., N. C., and died in the Pendleton District, South Carolina, from which district he served in the South Carolina militia during the Revolution. I've followed sub stantially all of his descendants and hope to publish a gene alogy of the Reeves-Rives family in the next few years.
Burgess was the son of Wm. Rives III, born around 1690- 1700 in Virginia, died 1751 in Granville Co., N. C. He was the son of Wm. Ryves II, born around 1672, probably in Vir ginia and died in Virginia (no proof), son of Wm. Rives or Ryves I .
William Ryves or Rives I was born circa 1636, presumably in Oxfordshire, England, baptised at St. Mary and Magdalen, Oxford; died after 1695 in America, probably in Southern part of Virginia. In 1684-5 he was listed amon8 the tax payers in Southworke Parish, Surry Co . , Virginia. He had sons George, Robert, Johm, Timothy, and William.
The Parish Register of Albemarle Parish, Virginia, 1717-1778, lists children of Georg~ John, Christopher, and Richard Rives baptised there between 1742 and 1778, and innumerable Rives, both men and women, acted as sponsors of other children there. Page 2
I don't know whether or not the William Ryves called the "emigrant" is the Wm . Reeves listed by Nugent in "Cavaliers and Pioneers," as coming to America in 1652 .
There was a Wm . Rives in Chowan Precinct, N. c., in 1718 when he sold 15 acs . on the Moraltuck River.
I have a reference to the will of George Rives (born c. 1660 - died after 1719) who was in Prince George Co . , Va . , and his nephew George Rives (son of Timothy) born c. 1698, died 6/1/1746, Surry Co . , Va .
I have no proof (except tradition) that Wm . Ryves, the emigrant, was the son of Timothy Ryves (born c. 1588 in Eng land; died 9/1/1643 in Oxford, England), a "Gentleman and steward" of the University of Oxford . In 1644 he was a sub stantial tax payer in Oxford . His first wife Mary died 11/8/1629 , his second wife Elizabeth died 1/6/ 1643, both in Oxford .
Timothy was the son of Richard Ryves (born c . 1547), who was the son of John Ryves and Amye Harvey. John lived at Damory Court, Blandford Forum, County Dorset (21 miles S. W. of Salisbury, England), which I visited in 1966. The old 3 or 4 story house known as Damory Court had been turned into a hotel . The alms house George Ryves . gave the town of Bland ford Forum is still operating and has the Ryves crest on its south wall with an inscription "George Ryves, Armiger," then some Latin, and the date 1682. The Ryves chapel, windows, and effigies in the church of St. Peter and Paul, Blandford Forum, were destroyed in the "Great Fire of 1731" which des troyed most of the town.
John Ryves was the son of Robert Ryves and his wife Joan, who received several grants from Henry VIII, including Damory Court. Robert was born circa 1490 possibly in France, came to Dorsetshire with Roger de Amory, a French knight, and died at Blandford Forum 2/11/1551. Robert is the earliest one I know of.
If this appears to be your Rives line, I'd like very much to know what additional information you may have, especially as to William Ryves, emigrant. I have more details as to collateral lines in each generation. I'll be glad to hear from you . Y~e:~t\2w Louise Kirk 1631 Donalor Drive Escondido CA 92027 March 28, 1976 Dear Mis~, Thank you for your response to my query. First, I'm sorry but t here was a typoeraphical error and 11 Vav11 shoul d have been Van Reeves. I have James Reeves will written in 1822 in Stark County Ohio. In it he names the following children: Johanna, Nelly, Aaron (he possibly moved to New Jersey), Martha, Abi gail, Eunice, James, Manassa, and Van VanMeter Reeves. He names his wife as Sarah. Both he and his wife died in 1827 in Stark County Ohio. To d~te I have not found a county histD17Y that gi ves me any information. James Downing was an executor of the est at e .
The Van Reeves you found in Brown County Ohio in 1850 is James ' son. Van, first married Rachal e ~llenton 11 Sept. 1817 in Stark County. She died 5 Sept. 1835 in Guernsey County Ohio. Their children were: John m. Lydia Sims, l~nassa m. Mary McFaland 2nd. Matilda Hall Hawkes , Rach;:iel, Hester, Nathaniel, Permelia m. Davidson, Mari a m. Sieler, ~ra m. Stull and Van Van Meter (died in Civil 1"1'ar ). He second married Matilda Stull (no date, mut ma'Bt have been immedi ately since first child was born July 1836. Children by second wi fe : Hannah, William , Lydia m. John Feustal, Ma rgar et Reeves , ~nd rew J . Reeves m. Ella Dimick. By 1847 this family was in Hamilton County Ohio. The family moved to Muscct ine County Iowa wher e I find them in 1860. He died in 1872 in Rock Island County, Illinois which is just across the Mississpppi River from Muscatine County. They seem to have moved back and forth between the t wo counties. His second wife died in 1881. I do not find them in a cQ.lnty histovy either.
Ma.nassah Reeves married Mary McFarland in Ross County Ohio in 1842 She died in Nuscstine county Iowa in 1861. In 1862 he married Matilda !fall hawkes . He was in the Civil War and I hawe his r ecords. Matilda lived until 1923. I have found them in a history of Rock Island County.
From Manassah on I have a pr etty good r ecord of t he family and quite a lot on Van Van Met er. Sometime I see the name as Van Meter without the first Van .
Sincerely, \ ' i

So, !-Taney was brouGht up by her brothers and sis ters. She and JA.bez probnbly went to the same school, as well as to an independent ChristiM. church which had broken away from the tranitional church at Red Oak. In December 1326 Jabez Reeves entered 80 acres in Ilnsh County, Indiana. He returned in the sprin.e;, built a log cabin, and moved there in October 1827 when the1r son, William was l month old. Here they raised a large family. By 1860, Ja.- bez and Nancy 11eev~s had one of the mos-t valuable farms in the county (listed in the Cen::ms as beine in the Knightstowm P.O. area of Rush County), sons.William and Alfred Benton were married, and only l':li. l ton M. and J.

Her grandchildren felt at home in her large house catporner from the German Lutheran Church on Fifth Street, .•,, where she spent much time crocheting beautiful pieces. She was a rather large woman, and dressed frequently in black. On October 11, 1923, after making her usual visit to her son's home on Seventh Street in the morning, the Lord took her home in the evening. She was the only grandparent we (George, Virginia, and Charlotte Reeves) had lmown, since . the others all died before we were born.

(Charlie) Reeves started to work at H.eeves & Co. soon after he graduated from Columbus High School. He and Monta, who married young, had no child for 11 years, and en gaged in church and social activities in the community. Mr. Reeves started a furniture factory between Hawcreek and Belmont Street, where the present Statler Packing House is, but it was doomed by the flood of 1903, and he returned to Reeves & Co., (later called Emerson Brantingham), as Traffic ~Ianager. Soon after Lucile was born, Manta Reeves died, and Lucile lived with her grandparents until Mr. Reeves married Maud Cooper. Before her marriage, Maud Cooper had taught school in Taylors ville, had lived in Washington while her father was a Congress man, had studied art at Herron School of Art in Indianapolis, and had become an artist of landscapes and portraits. When she married, she immediately took care of Lucile as her own daugh ter. The other three children were born, and the family, liv ing in a big house at 718 Seventh Street, had a "hired girl.~' while the children were small. When the new shirt factory, on ' ( north Washington Street, offered girls better positions, Mr. and Mrs. Reeves became one of the first couples in town to buy an automatic washing machine which they had seen on display in Indianapolis. Mrs. Reeves always kept apace of modern times. Charles A. Reeves was interested in the comnnmi ty, was a 32nd ~ degree Mason, and an elder at Tabernacle Christian Church, which \ was the church where most of the Reeveses attended. When Emerson Brantingham Co. closed its Columbus plant, Charlie Reeves stayed until the last piece of machinery was sold. In 1927, Mr. and Mrs. Reeves bought a furniture store in the business area of Bloomington, combining his business abilities and former interest in furniture with her artistic talents for design and display. They made many new friends, and weathered the depression years when selling on credit became necessary. Mr. Reeves had an innate trust in others. When he was 85 and Mrs. Reeves was 82, they sold the furniture business and moved to Indianapolis to be near their daughter, Charlotte, violin ist in the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. "7.' ,.}.:.~ Charles A, Reeves lived to be almost 87, and Naud (Cooper) Reeves lacked six weeks of being 90. They remained active in Christian Churches where they lived, but were both buried at Columbus which had _been home to them most of their lives. Mother, who had been a member of the Nature Study Club and the Magazine Club in Ol.wnbus while we were children, took up sketching and painting again when we were groitm, and belonged to a small Bloomington and Na~ille artists' club. Except for a few which she sold, we have kept her landscapes in oil. She was always interested in our welfare, and in her church, and took care of her own business matters until her death. The last Easter Father was with us, he gave me (Virginia) such ~ big hug that I could feel every rib in his tall, thin body; a.nd when the .Lord called him home, he seemed to be just on the other side of a veil that separated us.

Lucile Reeves took the responsibilities of being an older sis ter to her brother and two sisters. She enjoyed visiting her Grandfather and Grandmother Abbett, and attended the Ladies' Aid Society with her grandmother to help quil"!; for the mission aries. She played piano well enough to play for prayer meet ings, .and helped her sister, Virginia, learn to play duets. Lucile graduated from Columbus High School in 1920, went two years to :B,ranklin College and two years to Indiana University. Her only year of teaching, in a town in Illinois on the ~lis sissippi River, she met and married Fred M. Sultan, who was· from ~lississippi. They made Columbus their home. Here, their son, William Howard Sultan was born November 28, 1925. In their later years, :Mr. and Mrs. William A. Abbett, Lucile's grandparents liv·ed with Fred and Lucile (Reeves) Sul tan. Both Mr. and Mrs. Abbett lived into their .:. . 90 's. Nr. Abbett was the person chosen to lay the corner stone when First Chris tian Church was built. She lived to be 91, and he, 99. ~·· It was not strange that, in Lucile Sultan's empJ..Qrment with the Social Welfare Department of Bartholomew County, her assign ment was work and visitation with the elderly. She retired young because of painful arthritus, but was a faithful and regular attendant of church and of her Sunday School class of which she had been a member since she was a young lady. She enjoyed many trips with the Senior Citizens, and is well re membered by friends, relative, and by the older people of the county whom she helped. Lucile's husband, Fred~M. Sultan was born in Mississippi April 21, 1900, and served in World War I. At times when his injuries kept ·him from working, he enjoyed tending his garden, and watch ing sports news.

On p. 122. Rebecca, the wife of Thomas Reeves, the blacksmith of Southampton, died prior to 1694 as her estate was granted to her son John Reeves and his guardian J oho Penny June 12th of that year.1 Her maiden name is unknown. She married second Benjamin Davis who died Dec. 20, 1692.2 On p. 123. Mary Wells Reeve (1695-1761) widow of Thomas Reeve, blacksmith of Southold, was bm:;ied beside her brother William Wells at Cutchogue, Long Island. She died June 19, 1761. Her age at death as given on her headstone was 66 years, 4 months and 16 days. This does not correspond with her known birth date. However, in 1965-66, a Mr. Wesley L. Baker visited that cemetery and noted that her stone seemed to have been recut and repolished at some later date.2 The error in her age at death may have been made at that time. There could have been several reasons why Mary was buried at Cutchogue instead of Southold beside her husband: If she died of small pox or some other feared con tagious disease; if the roads had been impassable because of rains; or if her brother considered the trip too dangerous as this was during the French and Indian War.

I could not believe that all of them belonged to one man and assigned some of them to his son James, Jr. However, Deacon James Reeves named them in his will, written 1803. A brief is as follows: "To my son James; to daughter Mary; to daughter Hepzibah; to son David; to son Joshua; to daughters, Lydia and Anna; to daugh ter Keturah and Dibrah; to son Isaac; to daughter Sarah; to daughters Mary (Think this should be Marian) Amutual and Jerusha; to son Elijah; to daughters Dolly (Dorothy) and Julia; to wife Mary; to son-in-law Stewart Brown.

Dear Miss Vestal; You will note :t:nom the inclosed-- chart that iny ll.ee:Ves line is only to my great grandfather. However I have data .of' 'a· 11'.e.eves family who moved from Kentucky to Shelby Co.India.aa about lb36 and to t Kentucky from N.J. or Mass. about 1812. There is an Ann but she m ~ a Vansickle...... , I . You did not give me dates for your Ann D. and I find 8!!9· seor6e"" and Caleb but no Jabez.-.so I doubt that it is 'the same line altho%h it may be a branch of the same family. I copied this line because' rey uncle knew some of the family and th ou~h t we probably had a c omrnon ancestor. - · " My ~reat grandfather Charles G. had chare;,e of the Armocy a-t Frankfon, Ky., and was a band leader. r hope to· e;;et a letter'. to the Ke.ntasky Historical society to see if they have records of his family. · 1 only know that he died with taberculosis when he was about 24 years of age and that he had a brother Wil~who went to Indiana or Illinois from Kentucky.
