Commentary

Since this deed identifies its grantor Elijah as the same one who received land from Elijah Sr. in the deed from 1812, he must be Elijah Reeves Jr.. However, there is a witness to this deed who signed as Elijah Reives Jr. Since Elijah Sr. was no longer alive, it may be that this is a reference to a younger Elijah, possibly Elijah son of Spencer Reeves or Elijah son of Thomas Reeves.
