Notes

Daniel Reeve died at Albany on December 13, 1746 according to Salmon Records (see p97 hereof). Immediately following were entries of two others who died at Albany, namely- Brooks and Benjamin Landon. Apparently both of those men, and Daniel Reeve died in military service as all three were in a July 25, 1746 Muster List of Suffolk County of over 100 men, including Indians and Negroes, enlisted to serve the "Present Expedition against Canada" (p209). Daniel's widow Experience Reeve was appointed Administratrix of his estate on Feb. 24, 1746/7
