Children of Ubgate Reeves and Jane:

2. Mary Reeves, b. after 1703¹
3. John Reeves, b. after 1703¹
4. Susannah Reeves, b. after 1724

It is very likely that Ubgate Reeves' wife Jane was the daughter of John O'Caine/O'Kane and Elizabeth who married William Willis after the death of John O'Caine circa 1707. Although there is no definitive documentation, both Ubgate and Jane Reeves are mentioned in Charles County records along with John O'Caine (probable brother of Jane who died in 1726) and William Willis.

¹The will of Ubgate Reeves, written 1724, appoints guardians for the younger children, Mary and John, along with instructions regarding their education, etc. until they reached the age of 21. Susannah was not named in this will and was therefore born after its writing in 1724. (Will Book TA1, Pg 106-107)
