Narrative

The following entries from the Salmon Records appear to all pertain to this family:

• 1765 Aug 2 Walter Reeve & mary Burt
• 1791 Feb 3 Walter Reeves
• 1796 Sept 13 Walter Reeves widdow Mary

This must be the Walter Reeve who appears in the 1776 census in Southold. In the household are one male age 16-50, two males under 16, one female above 16, and two females under 16.

Research Notes

It may be that the younger Walter Reeve (d. 1851) was his son or a close relative. In addition, this Walter was likely somehow a part of the family of John Reeve.

Wesley Baker provided some circumstantial evidence proposing that Jonathan Reeves who married Mehitable King may have been Walter's son.
