Narrative

Children of John Reeves and Mary Culver:

1. John Reeves, Jr., b. 6 Dec 1765
2. Thomas Reeves, b. 5 Nov 1768
3. Jesse Reeves, b. 6 Sept 1771
4. Edward Reeves, b. 19 Jul 1773
5. Gabriel Reeves, b. 29 Aug 1777

Mary was born 14 Jun 1741.

The Family Bible which is the source of the above dates seems to imply that John was a son of John Reeves of Southampton and his wife Rachel. If that's the case, his father would have been 65 when he was born. It's therefore possible there is a missing generation between. This needs further investigation.
