Narrative

Children of William Reeves:

1. Benjamin Reeves, b. 21 June 1713

Children of William Reeves and Sarah Fountain:

1. William Reeves, b. 8 Nov 1719
2. Sarah Reeves, b. 9 Sep 1722

William is mentioned as a son in the 1717/8 will of his father. In a 1733 deed, he deeded land to "my brother Cockerill Reeves" that was the "homestead of my grand hond father William Reeves, decd." His wife Sarah signed the deed.

It's likely this is the same William who married Mary Carder on 19 Dec 1706. The birth record for Benjamin only names his father.

The 1737 will of William Reeves only names his wife Sarah and children Benjamin and Sarah.
