About Thomas Reeves

Thomas Reeve came back to the place of his birth, locating near his older
brother James, his cousin William, and his uncle Jonathan. Like
his brother James he began life in an assured position, inheriting
a valuable share of his grandfather Purrier's property. He
married Mary Salmon of Southold, became a lieutenant in the colonial
militia, and after the organization of the Mattituck Church
was one of its deacons. In the old grave yard he and his wife
Mary lie next to his brother James and his wife Deborah."
