Information from the will included in New Jersey, Abstract of Wills, 1670-1817:
1760, Dec. 31. Reeve, Joseph, of Cumberland Co.; will of. Wife, Milysent, the profit of my plantation, till son, Samuel, is 21; then he to have 1/3 thereof. Son Samuel, the said plantation where I live, lying between Mark Reeve and John Reeve. Son, Joseph, my other lands, when 21. Daughter, Martha, 100, when 18. Executors - my wife and Mark Reeve. Witnesses - Samuel Ayers, Hannah Reeve, John Barracliff. Proved June 7, 1763.
Lib. 11, p454.

Note: The Abstract of Wills incorrectly dates this will 31 Dec 1760. The recorded will is actually dated "thirty first Day of the Twelfth Month in the year of our Lord One Thousand seven hundred and sixty three". It was proved 7 Jun 1763. This may involve a garbled use of old style dates, but it's unclear how to reconcile these.
