Research Notes

There are a number of references to Edmunds and Edwards in the Reeves entries from the Latton register. However there is no clear pattern matching the grandchildren mentioned in the will or which may be his son Edward. These two entries may refer to his son William's children:

• John Reeve sonne of Willm Reeve and Elizabeth his wife Baptised the fyfte of March (1627/8)
• Mary Reeve daughter of Wm Reeve and Mary his wife Baptised the Eleventh daye of January (1631/2)
