Commentary

Given that his wife is identified as Nancy, this apppears to be Elijah Jr.. Since he is identified as of Fleming this appears to be a different Elijah from the so-called Elijah Reeves Jr. living in Scioto County, Ohio who deeded land less than two months later. This also would determine which Elijah was the original recipient of this land in the 1815 deed mentioned in this current deed.
