Narrative

An 1845 deed from Ebenezer Brown to Charles N. Wager states that Ebenezer's present wife Experience was a daughter of Moses Reeves. A later deed indicates that she was formerly surnamed Woolly and therefore must have remarried.

The cemetery transcription states she died 26 March. However, the probate record for her states 25 March. The records state she died intestate. Her husband Ebenezer passed along the responsibility of administrating her estate to Moses Reeves "of the Town of Ledyard in the County of Cayuga."
