Samuel Reeve of Aurelius, Cayuga County. New York wrote his will on 6 Jun 1836 and it was proved 8 Jan 1838. He mentions his wife Sally and children J. Parker, Philip H., Samuel, William, and Sally. The probate states that he left the following hers: "Samuel Reeve, William Reeve, Sally Frazee wife of Henry Frazee of the said town of Aurelius, Joseph Parker Reeve of the town of Newport, Herkimer County and State aforesaid, and Philip H. Reeve of the town of Webster, County of Warthenaw and state of Michigan, that the said William Reeve is a minor..."

Samuel was buried in Fort Hill Cemetery, Auburn, Cayuga County, New York.

Research Notes

This is probably Samuel Reeve, son of James and Anna, who was baptized at Mattituck in 1768. There was also a marriage recorded there for a James Reeve to a Sarah Wickham in 1790 who may be this couple. Further research is needed to prove this.
