Folks, Orange Co. PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD pgs. 1185-86 Tells about DANIEL REEVE and his wife RUTH ANN CARPENTER. He was the son of Jeremiah and Hannah (Decker) Reeve - Decker/VanEtten RUTH ANN CARPENTER states they were married in 1839. REEVE CHILDREN: Daniel C. attorney d 1871 age 30 Middletown Valentine H farmer d 1886 Martha J. "makes her home on the farm where her grandparents settled in 1804" - does not say which grandparents. Ruth A. is the wife of EDWARD SILK of Middletown her son: Reeve A. SILK It then goes into the classical description of the Wm Carpenter of Rehoboth history... The lists descendancy as Wm, John, John, John (as in AB Carpenter) ISAAC b in Goshen March 31, 1747. "His father, who was an early settler of Orange County, was in July 1721 one of the men who gave land for the village of Goshen to be laid out with its church parsonage, cemter, etc. He had eight children. ISAAC was married to Mrs. Susanna (McKinney) Thompson, of Scotch-Irish descent a lady several year younger than himself. Her parents were Edward and Mary (Dekay) McKinney." MY comment - this sounds like straight out of the ABCarpenter Memorial, except the Carpenter Memorial indicates that she (Mrs. Susanna (McKinney) was born in Ireland - I don't understand how that would be, given that she was a DeKay, and the Dekays would have been in Or. co. before her birth. Continuing on "ISAAC CARPENTER and his wife lived on his large estate, a part of which is now known as the Reeve homestead, two and one-half miles south of Middletown. ..dau: Susan and Ruth Ann.
