William Reeve was named as one of the executors of his brother James' estate in the 1792 will written by James Reeve and probated 4 Jul 1698. By the time the will was presented in court for probate, William was deceased and there was no mention of him in court when the will was recorded, only his nephew, James' son James, the other executor named in the will.

Origins

Although the father of James, William and Thomas Reeve of Long Island is generally believed to be unknown, if the published volume A history of Mattituck, Long Island, N.Y. is to be believed, their father was also named Thomas. That book on page 44 makes the statement “The eastern part of the Reeve lot was owned wholly or part by William Reeve who died in 1696 a son of 1st Thomas.”
