There was a skirmish at the Pulliams Farm in SW corner of Ripley Co. Women and children were NOT KILLED. There is no documentation of this at all. Zip, Nada, None. This story was created by Jerry Ponder who has proven to be unreliable. He was NOT the same as other Partisan Rangers. His unit quickly became a regular unit in the CSA. My great Great Grandfather served under him. I long ago attended Church with the Reeves family who then lived nearby. What is true is that prior to the war he was a pistol carrying Baptist Preacher. He helped raise the unit out of a need to protect locals.

A descendant of John Reeves of Craven through Jesse Tinion Reeves has done a Y-DNA test and he actually is a match to several Reeves who descend from the Reeves' family of Charles and St. Mary's counties of Maryland. I thought that was completely exciting news! Here's a post about the Y-DNA findings: http://usreeves.blogspot.com/2016/09/another-reeves-mystery-solved.html and you can read more at The Reeves Project on John Reeves page: https://thereevesproject.org/data/tiki-index.php?page=Reeves_John_3364<br />BeverlyBeverly Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651072473717710158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852277249790452050.post-1973446329714482822022-07-16T21:54:09.885-05:002022-07-16T21:54:09.885-05:00My grandfather is Sam Byrd Reeves II.

And I'm sorry but neither of these families are related to Willliam Reeves who died in Granville NC in 1751 whose descendants are found in DNA Group 3 of the Reeves DNA Project. <br /><br />The Reeves with the connection to Goss and Riddell are found in DNA Group 6A and are another completely different lineage. Those Reeves as well as that Riddell family were first identified in the Neuse River basin of eastern North Carolina. See George Reeves at The Reeves Project - https://thereevesproject.org/data/tiki-index.php?page=Reeves_George_Sr_3168<br /><br />The third George Reeve was the son of John Reeve of Prince William County VA. Someone (without any documentation) had suggested that George Reeve's wife was a Riddell but new research suggests that her maiden name was Durham. The connection to the Riddell family in that area was actually through the wife of George's son revolutionary soldier William Reeve who migrated from northern VA to South Carolina after the Revolution and later to Georgia where he died. William's wife is documented as the child of James White whose wife Jane's maiden name was previously believed to be Riddell, recent research indicates that she was the daughter of Noah Riddell which is the source of that surname as used by their descendants. See the Research Notes on William's father George's page at The Reeves Project - https://thereevesproject.org/data/tiki-index.php?page=Reeve_George_3633<br /><br />I hope all this helps. Reeves really liked the name George and used it A LOT which causes great confusion.<br /><br />Good luck,<br />BeverlyBeverly Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05651072473717710158noreply@blogger.com
