I am submitting the following line of descent to the forum for help in
confirming or refuting the following line of descent from William the
Conqueror to Susanna Reeve, who immigrated to Virginia and married Gillee
Gromarrin. Gillee Gromarrin was a major land holder in Henrico County,
Virginia. Gillee’s will is dated 16 Oct 1716, and probated 5 Nov 1716.
Thank you for your assistance,

From the Visitation of Essex – Reve family: John Reeve’s great uncle
Francis Reve owned Hubbard Hall, thus tieing Susana’s brother WiltshireReve to the Reve family given in the Visitation.
