Bat L. Reeves from Faye Holden-Dillard. Picture taken before 1915-1920 (the years he is thought to have died), in Oklahoma City, OK, USA. He worked for the railroad company.

Thank you so much for sending me your family photographs, Faye, so that I may honor your family by placing them on ancestry.com and on findgrave.com for your larger family, and for the generations to come! Faye is 72 years young, and these family pictures, some original, will be sent to her son, Jason Bennett in Ohio after I finish scanning them.

Bat Reeves, "staged ox cart photo", from Faye Holden-Bennett-Dillard.

This is a copy. She has the original and says it is much nicer.

Thank you so much for sending me your family photographs, Faye, so that I may honor your family by placing them on ancestry.com and on findgrave.com for your larger family, and for the generations to come!

Faye is 72 years young, and these family pictures, some original, will be sent to her son Jason Bennett in Ohio and to Frank Fenn in Georgia, after I finish scanning them.

The "100 year old mystery": what was the name of Bat's mistress?

We believe the Mistresses last name to be Thorton (from family lore).

Bat had two wives and nine children with them!

Their only "love child" we think was Mary "Alice" Thorton Coats (fag.com #7827569) who married James "Floyd" Coats. Faye's family lore was last name--"Thorton". Their child "Alice" who married a "Floyd". It was I who found Sandra Tidwell's fag.com entry and wove these two lines together. I believe this to be correct for the names and timeline.

Bat's family:
Father--James Reeves, 1834 - 1880 (whose line comes from Barthlomew Reeves, an indentured servant from London, England to Jamacia to Mississippi.)
Unknown Wife

Unmarried Mistress Thorton & Child (born during his marriage to his second wife (first wife had died); whom he kept in contact throughout the second marriage--family lore)
Mistress (to Bat Reeves) Thorton--1865 – ?
Mary "Alice" Thorton, 1902 – 1977

Spouse & Children--
Catherene Mc Cullar--(make a fag.com page) 1855 – 1887

Cleora R. Reeves-(Frank's line) 1881 – 1957
Luella Reeves 1883 – 1909

Spouse #2 & Children
Inda Ella Dyer, (Native American) 1872 – 1915

Ida Lee Reeves, 1889 – 1912
William N. Reeves, WWI--(add to fag.com) 1890 – 1959
Effie Alma Reeves, 1892 – 1974
Lillie Susan " Reeves* (Faye's momma) 1896 – 1963
Dora "Alice" Reeves, 1898 – 1980
Mary Reeves, 1899 – ?
Clyde Hazel "Clydie Hazle" Reeves, 1903 – 1984
