Death Date
Some sources say that this Hugh Reese died 12 Dec 1783 in Columbia Co., Georgia, but they provide no evidence that he died on that date or that he was ever in Columbia Co., Georgia. If we had evidence that he died in Columbia Co., we could relate him to the Reese families of Columbia and Warren Counties. See Benjamin Rees and Hugh Reese.
Land Patent
In August 1743 Hugh Reece received a patent on 323 acres in Prince George Co., Virginia. The details can be seen at the website of the Library of Virginia (https://lva-virginia.libguides.com/land-grants as of March 2022). Highlight "Virginia Land Office patent and grants volumes" below the search box and search for a name.
Prince George Co., Hugh Reece, 30 Aug 1743 --- 323 acres on the lower side of Cooks Branch adjoining Mrs. Wyatt, &c
