Narrative

Children of John S. Reeve:

1. Harriet Reeve, b. c1832
2. Theodore Reeve, b. c1834
3. Mary Reeve, b. c1842
4. Henry C. Reeve, b. c1844
5. Emma Reeve, b. c1845
6. William Reeve, b. c1846
7. John Anderson Reeve, b. c1850
8. George W. Reeve, b. c1853

In an 1846 deed, John S. Reeve sold all his "right title and interest to the equal and undivided eighth part of the estate of the late Isaac W. Reeve deceased" to Jonas W. Reeve. This deed, along with a later one from 1871 imply that this was another son of Isaac W. Reeve.

A deed from 1853 states that John S. Reeve was an heir of William Reeve and of his son Watts Reeve. This would make sense given the identification of his father as Isaac W. Reeve.

John S. Reeve was the administrator for Margaret Reeve, widow of Isaac W. Reeve.
