question continued: I have found Simon and Elmira(Mira) from 1870 to 1910. last seen in 1910 in Concord Georgia which changed from Pike to Lamar County, Ga. also listed as Simeon on 1867 tax records in freedman. I am often directed to a Simeon Reeves born 1843 in Pike County who is not African American and I cannot find his wife to delineate. I am trying to help my aged uncle who had to give up researching his family and I have been arouond this brickwall for the past 10 years. My father passed already and I am hoping someone can help me. Thank you

I would suggest exploring the many records discussed on the FamilySearch Wiki page for Pike County.

Best of luck on your research!

There is a Public member tree posted on Ancestry.com for a Simeon Reeves and his family. They are listed as Black in the census of which there are a few posted. He is attached to his father William Reeves who has a number of sources attached that you might want to look at. If you do not have an Ancestry account you can access it at a Public Library or family history Center, there will be someone to assist you at the library or center. The tree is owned by michellecenter2002. There is another tree posted with different parents and you would need to determine which is correct.
Good Luck
