William K. Reeves is named in a partition deed from 1826 as having 1/10th of a piece of property. Although the predecessor is not named, several of the heirs are known to be children of Moses Reeves which implies William K. is as well.

In 1827, William K. Reeves of Lansing, Tompkins County, New York and Betsey his wife sold some land in that county to Joseph King, probably a part of the partitioned land.
