Spouse1: Edward Clayton, m. 25 Nov 1791, Gloucester County, New Jersey

Narrative

She appears to have gone by both Bathsheba and Beulah. Her brother Arthur Reeves refers to "my sister Beulah Clayton wife of Edward Clayton" in his will.

The Samuel Mickle Diary mentions "Bathsheba Clayton wife of Edward Clayton" dying the same day as Arthur Reeves:
5 Aug 1822 - Mary Reeves widow of Arthur was interred today in the 90th year of age, also her son Arthur deceased to day likewise Bathsheba Clayton wife of Edward Clayton also infant child of Joseph Saunders.

There is a marriage record for "Buley" Reeves to Edward Clayton. In her will she refers to herself as Bathsheba. So it appears she went by both.
