• 1782 Mar 4 Isaac Reeve & Sary Chesebrok

The Mattituck Church Records also record the second marriage:

• Isaac Reeve | Sarah Cheaseboroug | Mar 4, 1782

Isaac was listed in the 1776 census of Suffolk County.

He appears several doors down from his son Isaac T. Reeve in the 1790 census in Southold, Suffolk County.

Isaac wrote his will on 4 Oct 1814 and it was proved 13 Oct 1814. He mentions his children Selah, Isaac T., Deborah, Elizabeth, Eunice, Mary Wells, Charlotte Overton and grandchildren Pheobe Reeve, Isaac Reeve and Isaac Wells Jr.

Isaac and both his wives were buried at Mattituck Presbyterian Church.

Research Notes

Daughter Mary is probably the one who married an Isaac Wells at Mattituck Church on 6 Mar 1788.
