Richard Reeve of Laindon, Essex wrote his will on 13 Jun 1728 and it was probated 5 Dec 1729. In it he mentions daughters Elizabeth Bull, Susan, Ann, and Mary and sons Robert and John. John Bull is mentioned as living on some of his land, likely his son-in-law.

Dunton, which lists baptisms matching his older children list just to the west of Laindon.

Research Notes

Note that there was an earlier couple, Richard Reeve and Mary Snelling? who were married at Laindon in 1654. This is just previous to the birth of this Richard so perhaps they were his parents.
