Thanks for checking for me. Actually William Riley Reeves was b. 1857. His tombstone is incorrect. His oldest son, my great-grandfather, was born in 1878 so it's obvious that the 1870 date is incorrect. I did find William Riley Reeves, his wife Nancy (Ellenburg) & two sons, William R. (incorrect; his middle name was Leander) & Franklin in the 1880 census. They were living in Eastatoee. Franklin evidently died young as I had never heard of him before.
I am truly stumped. According to William Riley Reeves' death certificate & also his daughter-in-law, who told me in 1978, he was the son of Martin Reeves & Lindy Adkins. His obituary stated he was a native of Pickens County, and the 1880 census lists him and his parents as South Carolina-born. You are the second person in the last two weeks to tell that he can't be found.
Again I thank you.
