In his will, William mentions his wife Helen, and "my fower children named Thomas Henrye? Jhoan and Ellen." He additionally mentions "my two sonnes namely Willm & Gylbert" who were appointed overseers of the will.
Given that he didn't mention his daughter Helen in his will, the Helen who married Robert Walett soon after William's death would appear to be his widow.
Research Notes
There may be a connection to John Reeve of Fyfield.Reinold Reve was born much later than the other children so it's not clear if he was the son of the same William.
