Narrative

Children of Joshua Reeves:

1. Child Reeves, b. Mar 1816, d. 5 Apr 1816

Joshua was buried in the same family cemetery as Howell Reeves. Since we know Howell's father was Joshua Reeves, it appears this is the son Joshua mentioned in his will from 1796.

Death of a child from the Goshen First Pres Church Records:

• 1816 April 5 Child of Joshua Reeves (age) 3w fits

In 1820, Joshua is listed in Minisink with one boy under 10, two girls under 10 and one woman 26-44, presumably his wife.

In 1830, there is a Mary Reeve in Minisink who is otherwise unaccounted for. She had one boy under 5, one 5-10, and two girls 15-20 in the household. This matches Joshua's household from 1820 and therefore is likely his widow.
