There were probably multiple couples with the name John and Sarah Reeve in Wendens Ambo. The first set span 1719-1731 and include the baptism of a John Reeve who may be this individual. A Sarah, wife of John Reeve was buried in 1740, perhaps this John's mother. Following this, there was a second set of children with parents John and Sarah Reeve. The elder John and Sarah were likely the parents of this John. Only the second set are listed as children of this John. His wife Sarah was buried 8 Jun 1780. He himself appears to be the John buried 13 Mar 1801.

The best fit for the marriage of this John is that from Saffron Walden, St Mary the Virgin, Essex Parish Register:

• (1744 Jun) 24 John Reeve of Arksden to Sa. Collier of Walden

Although his marriage states he was living in Arkesden at the time, there don't appear to be any entries for a John Reeve in the Arkesden registers. Arkesden and Saffron Walden are located on each side of Wendens Ambo, so this would appear to be the same individual.
