Hello:

If you are still out there (Old posting 2001), I too am a descendant of Ebenezer Shreve. He is my Great, Great Grandfather. I am 67 yrs. old. Regarding your query; Ebenezer's parents are John Shreve and Abigail Ridgeway. John's parents are Israel Shreve and Grace Curtis. John Shreve is half-brother to Henry Miller Shreve. The City of Shreveport, Louisiana was named after Henry. I don't claim to be the expert here. I'm working with my cousin who really owns our family tree on Ancestry.com. My Grandmother was Dottie Ann Shreve; Daughter of William Cicero (Pa Pete) Shreve. William and John Homer ran away from home and joined the 119th Infantry Regiment in Illinois to fight for the North in the Civil War. They were too young to fight so they were assigned as "drummers". One day while drumming on Sherman's March, John Homer took a bullet in his head. He was taken back to Missouri where he later died. William stayed with his outfit and mustered out in 1865. There's a little story for you. I would be interested in your name and further linkage to Ebenezer.

Hello, I can't tell you how thrilled I was to find your posting about Ebenezer Shreve. I have been searching the web forever looking for information about his parents, grandparents etc. My great grandfather was William Cicero Shreve. My grandfather was Ebby John Shreve, Willim's son by his first wife (Sarah Cunningham)and Dottie's brother. My dad was William Elbert Shreve. I would love to be able to talk with you on the phone or through email. Do you know Ebenezer's full name? I have been in contact with two other family members; a daughter of Ovvie and a grandson of Varus. Is there a way for me to see the research history with references to documentation. Hoping to here from you soon!!
I have a picture of William Cicero, Belle (his 2nd wife) and all his children. I would be glad to share it with you.

Your second cousin
