• Notes

  Grout indicates that Abner and Deborah had two sons -- Tapping and Erastus. [Some commentators suggest that Tapping Reeve given name was Erastus Tapping Reeve, the Erastus being dropped when he reached maturity. Others suggest that Erastus was his brother, who may have died while an infant or young. Still others suggest that Erastus was not of this family, and that Abner and Deborah had but one son.]
