Narrative

The following is from a set of Abstracts of Orange County, New York Surrogate Records from Goshen included in the Yesteryear publication:

• Adm. 7-24-1832: James Reeve d 6-18-1814 in the Army of the U. S. A. Left no widow, no child, no brother and sisters, except Joanna Case wife of John Case, now dec'd, that he left nephews and nieces to wit the children of Joanna Case, the children of Isaac Reeve and Daniel Reeve of whom petitioner James C. Reeve is one. That the said Joanna Case renounced all right to letters or adm. of the estate. The estate does not exceed $200. James C. Reeve appt. adm. 7-24-1832. Joanna Case of the Town of Hopewell sister of James Reeve, late of Orange Co. dec'd renounced 7-10-1832.

We know from this record that James was brother to Daniel Reeve, Joanna Reeve Case, and an Isaac Reeve. The fact that he died in 1814 and was in the US Army would suggest a casualty of the War of 1812.

The nephew James C Reeve gained administration on James's estate on 24 Jul 1832.

The connection to brother Daniel Reeve implies he is a son of the elder Daniel Reeve of Goshen.
