In 1816, Abraham P. Reeves sold two slaves, Pattey and Becky, to Abigail Budd. (MB PPP, p216) In 1818, Abraham mortgaged some personal property to his brother Solomon since he was "justly indebted to Solomon Legare Reeves in the sum of Three hundred and Twenty dollars for money lent me by the said Solomon" in 1816. (MB QQQ, p104) In 1827, he mortgaged a house on Sullivan Island to Abraham Motte. (MB UUU, p204)

The death record states that Abraham P. Reeves died at age 41, 4 mo., and was buried at St. Phillips.
