Narrative
Hezekiah Reeve is listed in the 1752 Freeholders list from Morris County, New Jersey along with his brother Manassah.
Hezekiah was buried in Chester Congregational Cemetery, Morris County, New Jersey. His headstone reads: "IN MEMORY of Hezekiah Reue who died July ye 23d 1759 in ye 50th Year of his Age."
His will, dated 1759, names his wife Easther and brothers Manassah Reeve, Jonathan Reeve, William Reeve, Jesse Reeve, Silas Reeve, and Purrier Reeve. This makes him the son of Hezekiah Reeve although he was deceased prior to his father's will. Since Hezekiah named no children in his will, it's likely he didn't have any.
