Narrative
Hartwell Reeves stated in 1843 documents which he submitted in an effort to draw Frederick Reeves' RW pension after the death of his mother, Betsy, that he had 3 siblings who were all deceased by that time. There is an extremely degraded scrap of paper from the Revolutionary Pension file of Frederick Reeves that has the names of the four children written on them. The names of Henry Reeves and Hartwell Reeves near the center of the paper are discernable as are their dates of birth, but the names of both daughters are much more faint; however the older daughter's name appears to be Lydia and her date of birth 17 Jul 1778.Children of Frederick and Betsy Reeves:
- Lydia Reeves, 17 Jul 1778
- Henry Reeves, 9 Nov 1779
- Hartwell Reeves, 1 Mar 1783
- Syntha or Cynthia Reeves
