John Reeve left a Will Proved in 1694

Ken Murray writes on Wed, 29 Dec 1999 13:30:29 EST:- Just to confirm that your John REEVE born 1700 is almost certainly the man who built Trouble House c1755. Not absolutely certain, but highly likely. It seemed likely because the John who built TH was known to be a carpenter, and your John left "timber laying about the streets or waste land" in 1735. Also, the inn was leased by new owners (remember the Taylor sisters?) to John's son Richard in 1768, and your John has a son Richard born 1733. Another piece of suggestive circumstantial evidence has just turned up: a reference to Richard's headstone in Bigland for Rodmarton: In memory of Rd. REEVE, who died March 9, 1799, Aged 66 years. This Richard was born 1733, so is probably yours. It is quite likely that the Richard who lived at TH would have attended Rodmarton church rather than Tetbury or Cherington (at least one other person connected with the inn did so).
