Narrative

From the Good Easter Parish Register:
Thomas Reve the son of John Reve was baptyzed VI daie of May 1599

Children of Thomas Reeve:

1. Thomas Reeve

This lived in High Easter, Essex. He names the following individuals in his will:

• Thomas Reeve my sonne
• Thomas Reeves sonne of my brother Isaac Reeve...Isaack Reeve & John Reeve his brothers
• my brother in Law Benjamin Rolf
• my welbeloved brother in law Daniel Rolfe

Since two of his brother-in-laws were surnamed Rolf, it appears likely these were brothers of his wife.

His will was written 9 Jun 1657 and probated 27 Nov 1657 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. This is probably the death of Thomas from the High Easter Parish register:

• Thomas Reeve deceased the eighth day of July 1657

Research Notes

Thomas is mentioned in the will of his wife Ephra's father (Thomas Rolfe) "to my daughter Ephra, the wife of Thomas Reeve, 20 shillings".
