Narrative

Children of Jonas W. Reeve and Hannah W. Johnson:

1. Isaac Lewis Reeve, b. c1849

Newark Daily Advertiser, 9 Apr 1852
In Chatham, on the 8th inst, by the Rev. Joseph M. Ogden, JONAS W. REEVE, of Springfield, to MARY C. MUIR of Chatham, N. J.

A deed from 1853 states that Jonas W. Reeve was an heir of William Reeve and possibly an heir of Watts Reeve. A later deed from 1871 refers to "Isaac L. Reeve being a son of Jonas W. Reeve deceased who was a son of the said Isaac W. Reeve." Thus it appears the death record got his parents names wrong.
