His will only names his wife Druscilla and mentions the children, but not by name. The inventory of the estate of Adonijah Reeves was made 14th of February 1798 by Daniel Crowell and Aaron Bennet. The fact that Daniel Crowell was involved could suggest a connection to the Abraham Reeves who married Ruth Crowell. See Ruth Rieves for more information.
