Narrative

Probable Children of Edward A. Reeves:

1. Elizabeth Jane Reeves, b. c1837
2. Jeremiah Reeves, b. c1839

The will of Edward A. Reeves was written and proved in 1847. He mentions his brother Josiah Reeves several times and also a Jeremiah and Elizabeth Jane Reeves. At the end of the will he appoints a guardian for "those two children" but doesn't state they are his own.

This is presumably the Edward A. Reeves who married Mary Ann Fogg. The entry states that both were of Alloywaystown in Salem County.

Elizabet Jane and Jeremiah are found in the household of John Rice in Greenwich, Gloucester County, New Jersey in 1850. Their ages make it impossible that they are the children of Mary Fogg and Edward. So presumably either these were either from a previous marriage or are nephew/niece.
