Stephen and Rebecca Ann were living in Tippecanoe County, Indiana by 1832 when they sold some land there.

The age ranges for the individuals in the household of Stephen Reeves in Fairfield, Indiana is a strong match to his household in Lake, Missouri in 1850. Note also that the 1850 census states Rebecca was born in Ohio, which is where they were married. The census lists son William as born in Ohio with children Rebecca, Elizabeth, Martha, and James all born in Indiana.

Stephen's will is undated but was proved in Buchanan County on 17 Oct 1851.

Rebecca is buried in Pine Cemetery, Buchanan County, Missouri. The headstone reads: "Rebecca A. Wife of Stephen T. Reeves Died Oct 11 1862 Aged 22 yrs 2 ms 20 ds."
