Narrative

Children of Obadiah Reeve and Elizabeth:

1. Elizabeth Reeve

Obadiah is listed as a Lieutenant in Suffolk County in a 1797 report. In 1802, it mentions Obadiah as deceased.

Obadiah was on tax lists from 1799-1801 in Brookhaven.

Obadiah Reeve of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, New York wrote his will on 21 Feb 1801 and it was proved 6 Jan 1803. He mentions his wife Elizabeth and daughter Betsy. Abigail Post was a witness and her husband James Post was an executor along with the widow. Since Abigail was a daughter of Isaiah Reeve, it's possible Obadiah was a son of Isaiah, but he isn't mentioned in the will.

He was buried in the Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Center Moriches, New York.
