Research Notes

There can be little doubt that Benjamin Reeve who appears in the records of Hampshire and Hamden was the son referred to in Ezra's will. In a deed from Benjamin Reeve to Judah Beck, he refers to Hamilton Reeve as his son. His wife was named Percis in this deed (DB 80, p447). A lot of these deeds have to do with the estate of a Marry Reeves of Holland, Massachusetts. In one deed, he states that it she was his sister (DB 80, p447).
