Christopher Reeve / Reve was married to Alice around 1670 near Oving, Buckinghamshire, England.
He may have been baptised on 14 October 1635 in Marsh Gibbon, Buckinghamshire, England to parents Thomas John Reeve and Elizabeth King. Thomas and Elizabeth were married on 28 June 1623 at St Michaels, Steeple Claydon, Buckinghamshire.
Oving is 12 miles from Marsh Gibbon, so I’m unsure if this is the correct baptism and parentage. (Bishops Transcripts, Buckingham Baptism Index).
There is a baptism for an Alice Clemance on 28 January 1653 in middle Claydon, to parents John and Anne which may be Alice Reeve’s baptism.
