Timothy RIVES came from NC and showed up on 1810 census in Humphries
Co TN with son Timothy. In 1820 census the name is spelled REAVES.
They settled on the Duck River in the area that was the Chickasaw
town at Paint Rock Bend. The younger Timothy married Elinor Dawes
from Alabama and had 7 sons. They farmed the area until the Civil
War. The eldest two sons were taken captive by the Union soldiers,
and the father was murdered. The wife and younger sons abandoned the
farm and fled to Kentucky to escape the Missouri maruaders that
killed the husband. I am trying to locate information about these
events, the Chickasaw village and those people. I am trying to
