Narrative

Children of Robert H. Reeve and Eliza Ann Hoffman:

1. Fanny M. Reeve, b. c1820, m. Isaac Dimon
2. Herietta H. Reeve, b. c1826

4. Adeline H. Reeve, b. c1829, m. Mr. Gavey
5. Hoffman Reeve, b. c1835
6. Robert Reeve, b. c1837

Robert was likely a son of Jeffery and Fanny Reeve. There is a deed which Fanny was involved in in 1820 in which she and Robert H. Reeve and his wife Eliza Ann sold some land to Benjamin Carpenter. The same day, a Jeffery and Sophia Reeve sold some land to Robert H. Reeve. It's likely that Jeffery and Robert H. were children of Jeffery and Fanny.

In 1811, Robert H. Reeve appeared in Philadelphia before an alderman of the city and testified that he was 21 years of age and born in New Burgh, Orange County, New York.

He was living next door to Jeffery in 1820.

The death record for Adeline H. Gavey who died 1909 in Brooklyn, New York, states that her parents were Robert Reeve and Eliza Hoffman, and that both parents were born at Newburgh.
