Janet REEVES; 1929-?; Wichita, KS>?
I am trying hard to find living descendants of my own 1C2xR, Janet REEVES.
Born in Wichita, Sedgwick, KS in 1929 to parents Ben Van Every REEVES (1890-1959) and Ethel Sue PITTINGER (?-?); Janet REEVES was the youngest of 3 siblings, including Ethel Mae REEVES (1914-?), Donald Gene REEVES (c1921-1943).
Janet allegedly married Albert L. HIATT (?-?) and bore him the following 5 children:
1. William Earnest HIATT (1949-?), m. Suellen BORNFLETH
2. Rebecca HIATT (1952-?)
3. Catherine E. HIATT (1953-?)
4. Don HIATT (1955-?), m. Cyndy GELEN
5. Susan I. HIATT (1959-?), m. 3x
Of no little interest are the WWII heroics of Janet's older brother, Navy fighter pilot, Lt. (jg) Donald Gene REEVES. Aboard the sinking aircraft carrier Wasp in the Pacific Ocean, aviator Reeves gained national notoriety and the nation's 2nd highest medal honor-----the Navy Cross-----for his bravery. After flying to defend Guadacanal, Lt. Don Reeves later was shot down and killed.
Can anyone help me? I currently am writing an extensive book on Janet's paternal great grandfather, Rev. David REEVES (1820-1896), and I *really* need to correspond with a direct descendant of this lady so as to properly represent her linneage in the book...
