(e) Zadok (possibly) who appears in Southold 1776 Census immediately after Solomon which indicates Solomon may have been his father. His Family consisted of 1 male age 16-50 (Zadok himself as he was born about 1741; he shows as age 19 in 1760 in the Suffolk County Militia), 1 male under 16, 1 female over 16 and 1 under. He also is in 1790 Census - 1 male over 16, 2 under 16, 3 females. He married Phebe Tappen on March 8, 1768 at Aquebogue. The Church Records state they were both of Wading River. Date of their Death unknown. Zadok Reeve witnessed the 1780 will of Timothy Hudson.
We should add that a Zadok Reeve was in the Riverhead Tax List in 1819 & 1820 but not in 1821 and was in Riverhead Census in 1800 and 1810. Also a Zadok Reeve is buried in Vigo County, Indiana, died March 7, 1885, age 88-4-24 (b 1796) who may have been his son, or grandson.
I believe the Zadok in Riverhead is indead the same Zadok, looking at the neighbors and placement with them. By the 1790 census Zadok has two boys and 2 girls. The 1800 census however shows a family of ten. It's unclear whether Zadok has eight children or that this might be a blended family. In 1800 Zadock would be close to 60 and it is possible that an older child and his family living with Zadok, caring for the aging parents. Although not proven, I suspect the names of at least some of Zadok's children are Zadok Jr., Silas, John and Jane. But again more research is necessary as this is not my direct line.
