Stephen Reeves of Palmyra NY, 1825-1910
Looking for info on Stephen Reeves.He served in the Civil War from New York. Afterthe war ended, he returned to his home in Palmyra, Wayne County, NY, and married Dolly Williams Andrew, the young widowed wife of his boyhood friend, William Alvin Andrew. Alvin was killed in the Civil War 5 months before his wife delivered their first - and only - child.Believe Stephen Reeves raised the little girl, Alvinette Andrew, as his own.
On a trip to the E. Palmyra, NY cemetery where Stephen and Dolly are both buried, I found a large headstone almost directly behind theirs that was inscribed with another REEVES name.That person is George S. Reeves (1874-1968)and his wife, Vira Kellog ALLEN (1875-1924).Is George S. Reeves the son of Stephen Reeves and Dolly Williams Andrew?
Also, does anyone know the names of Stephen Reeves' parents - or where they came from?
Any info is greatly appreciated.Sandi
