  [SHAY 15010 Silas.FTW] His mother, Mary (maiden name unknown) was born abt. 1800 in Virginia, according to the 1850 U.S. Census of Meriwether Co., GA. The name of his father is unknown. His Civil War military service record indicates that he was five feet, ten inches tall, was fair complected, had brown hair and gray eyes. James Reeves' military service record states that he joined for duty and enrolled in Captain H.W. Baker's Company, known as "Harkie's Regiment" in Meriwether Co., GA on 8 May 1862. He joined the Confederate Army for a period of three years and was given the rank of Sergeant. The regiment to which he belonged later became the 55th Regiment of the Georgia Infantry. He is listed on the Company Muster Rolls of the 55th Regiment for November of 1862 through June of 1863. His name appears on a list of members of a mounted guard of a magazine located at Knoxville, TN on July 25-26, 1863. He is also listed as a supernumerary of the same guard on July 27-28, 1863 at Knoxville, TN. On 9 Sept. 1863, he was captured by Union forces in Cumberland Gap, TN and released by Colonel James Reilly of the 1045h OVI. From there he was taken as a prisoner of war to the Military Prison in Louisville, Kentucky. On 24 Sept. 1863 he was discharged and forwarded to Camp Douglas, Illinois until the release of prisoners of war as ordered by President Abraham Lincoln on 15 June 1865. James Reeves was later required to sign an Oath of Allegiance to the United States, although it is unknown on what date this was done. He signed the oath at Griffin, Georgia. James and Mary Reeves moved to Magnolia, Columbia Co., AR sometime in 1870. They apparently owned land in Meriwether Co., GA, because on 9 Sept. 1882, J.G. Reeves and Mary Reeves signed a deed of conveyance in which they sold fifty acres of land in the North of lot sixty-eight, the First District, Meriwether Co., GA to I.C. Nichols for four hundred fifty dollars. The deed of of conveyance states that James and Mary Reeves were residing within the town of Magnolia, Columbia Co., AR.
