JOHN REEVES is a native of Mason County, Ky., and was born February
20, 1802, and is a son of James and Sarah (Holton) Reeves, the former a 
native of Ireland, and the latter of Maryland.  John Reeves, Sr., emigrated
with his parents, Isaac and Margaret Reeves, to America previous to the
Revolutionary war, and when sixteen years of age entered the army under
Gen. Washington, serving the seven years.  He then married and settled
in Mason County, Ky., where he and wife ended their days.  John Reeves,
our subject, is the only child of his father living.  In 1823, he moved to 
Monroe County, Ind., and in 1824 to Owen County, where he married,
in 1828, Mrs. Eleanor Hayward.  In 1829, he removed to this county,
where Mrs. Reeves died in 1861, the mother of eight children--James,
Nancy, Abigail, Austin S., Sarah, Samantha, Benjamin and Julia A.  In
1863, he married Mrs. Ann Edwards.  Mr. Reeves is an excellent gentle-
man, and he and wife are members of the Christian Church, of which
Mr. Reeves has been an active worker for fifty years.
