Reeves, Ethan Wayne Sr. This is a picture of Ethan Wayne Reeves, Sr., a son of James Milton Reeves, standing on his fishtrap in the Flint River in the early 1900's. Ethan is holding up a fish in his right hand. The wooden fishtrap was built at the location of an old rock fish trap originally constructed by an Indian tribe which once inhabited this region. The picture was given to me by a descendant of Ethan Wayne Reeves. Submitted by Paul Reeves ← |

Reeves Homeplace This photo is an artist's depiction of the old 2-story James Milton Reeves homeplace as recollected by a relative who grew up there. Note that there was a small schoolhouse across the road from it. Do you know the name and history of the schoolhouse? It seems like an odd place to put it, away from a major thoroughfare, but a living relative has verified to me that it existed. Submitted by Paul Reeves ← |

Rowland, William & Rebecca This photo (may be a painting) is of William & his wife, Rebecca Harrison Rowland, which I got from another descendent. They appear very young in the photo and it may be their wedding photo since there are no children with them. The photo/portrait is not in very good shape but I was thrilled to get it regardless. Considering that they married in 1841, it's surprising it exists at all. Hope this information helps someone else out there. Submitted by Cheryl Aultman ← |

Birth: September 25, 1919, Gray, Jones County, GA - Death: July 4, 1999, Okeechobee, Okeechobee County, FL The last photo is an old picture of Papa made shortly after he came out of his coma. (He was in a coma 28 days following his motorcycle crash). My cousin Ken Robson reworked it for me and improved it. The original was a little odd....looked like someone had added oil paint to it. I think this would have been around 1938. Submitted by Carolina Anita Rucks ← |
