Hello, Beverly. Yes, I am still kicking around. You can contact me directly (wdbostick@aol.com), but I don't have a John Reeves/Rives in that era - I'll share what I do have. One source to possibly check:

He specified that all his lands lying in the County of Franklin, VA, be sold & proceeds divided equally among his 8 children: Elizabeth, Nancy, Peter, Polly, Lucy, Sally (w/o Thomas Prunty).
Peter Gillum Rives (#2018) (Burwell, Frederick, Joseph, George, William), b VA - presumably Franklin Co - accompanied his father to KY and lived in that state and Arkansas.
