    "Reeves, Thomas: [Origin] Salisbury, Wiltshire; [Emigration' 1638 on Bevis; [Resided] Newbury [Drake's Founders 60; Noyes-Gilman 271-74]. (Savage and Pope claim that this passenger was identical with a Thomas Reeves who appeared at Roxbury in 1642 [Savage 3:523; Pope 382; GMN 21:13-14].)"

    Anderson apparently considers the evidence insufficient to support that claim.
