War events or activity. Two men of this name are listed in the 1790 census - one in Out Ward (?), NY Co., NY; and one in Southampton Co., Suffolk Twp. No indication of wives' or children's names in any of these, except a Purrier and a Purrier, Jr. accompanying him in the list of refugees from Long Is. to CT in 1776. Interestingly, there is also a biog'l sketch of a Jehiel Reeve of Suffolk Co., NY, b. 1830, son of Hezekiah Reeve, but no other clue as to his ancestry, descendants, etc.
