New Jersey deaths lists a Wesley B. Reeve, son of Moses Reeve, who died 10 Oct 1849 in Springfield, Essex County. He was age 6, born in Springfield. There is also a listing for Francis D. Reeve, son of Moses & Abigail, born and died in Newark, died 18 Jun 1857, age 11 months,

Research Notes

An article on Summit Township in the Biographical and Genealogical History of Morris County New Jersey states that "Moses Reeves, son of Watts Reeves, of Springfield township, lived in the valley between First and Second Mountains, next to Dayton Badgley's." This fits with the earlier observation that he was likely a son of Watts Reeve since he was an heir of William Reeve.
