Narrative

Children of Henry Reeves, Sr. and Elizabeth Bagnall:

1. Henry Reeves, Jr.
2. Joseph Reeves
3. James Reeves
4. Martha Reeves, m. Robert M. Moseley
5. Mary Reeves, m. Thomas Munday
6. Ann Reeves, m. Edward Coleman
7. Rebecca Reeves, m. Israel Johnson (?)
8. Elizabeth Reeves, m. Thomas Sthreshley, Sr.

The 1709 will of Elizabeth Reeves names the above children with the exception of James who predeceased her, dying in 1707. She died sometime before the 14th of February 1711 when the will was admitted for probate.

There appears to be a connection between Elizabeth Reeves, wife of Henry Reeves, Sr. and the Parke(r) family of Essex County. The will of George Parke (sic Parker?) of Essex County, named Elizabeth Reeves as one of the primary legatees and provided legacies to James, Joseph, Mathew (sic Martha?) and Mary Reeves. Robert Coleman, Joseph Reeves and Henry Reeves also witnessed the will. The relationship between Parke and the Reeves family was not stated, Essex County, November 15, 1697. [Essex VA WB 9 p152-153]

Also, Joseph Reeves was listed in an accounting of the estate of John Parker. He appears to have paid a debt to the estate, Essex County, not dated but appears in 1715.
