Jonas Reeves 1720 Hertfordshire

[Macj99]

Not sure if anyone can help with this query, but thought I would ask.
I have a Jonas Reeves born 1720 Thunderidge, Hertfordshire, married in 1747 to Elizabeth Kingdom, died around 1799. Parents I think we’re a Jonas Reeves 1695 - ?. I cannot seem to get any further back. The name Jonas is Scandinavian /German and was wondering is there a way of trying to find out?  I have birth, marriage records and was wondering if anyone has any further info. Many thanks

1720/21 Baptism gives parents as Jonas & Ann

[rosie99]

Also  James transcribed as Samuel parents Jonas and Anne baptised September 1719 at Thundridge

Had another look at it, I agree with Ciderdrinker - it is Samuel

Not necessarily related to your Jonas REEVES, however there was Jonas REEVES ship's captain (Elizabeth), in the time of Oliver Cromwell (1652).
