Carollyn, don't know if we have any kind of connection with the REED line or not... a great great uncle of mine, Amos Gibson married a Sarah Lillian REED in Hamilton Co.,IL. in 1836..... married by William Gholson, Baptist Minister. I haven't been able to turn up any additional info on Sarah Lillian REED as yet. Amos Gibson was the son of Robert Gibson and I believe his mother's name was also Sarah ? Amos Gibson was born somewhere in TN in abt 1815. Still haven't been able to locate where he and the majority of his siblings were born in TN. One of his brothers, James W. Gibson, was my great great grandfather on my paternal side. It appears the Gibsons got to the Hamilton Co. area in the early 1830s. Do you have any notation where John Franklin REED was born in 1855? I haven't run into the Lampley name connected with my Gibsons, I don't think. But, I will go back and recheck through my notes and see if that surname pops up anywhere in relation to the Gibsons. If you should run into anything on Sarah Lillian REED give me a holler...I'll do the same for you on your REED and LAMPLEY line. You mentioned that "they are buried at Brady at Akin"....is this in IL.? and exactly who is the "they" that are buried there. Also, was Ida Florence married to a Gaither in Hamilton Co.? -----Original Message----- From: carollyn blackwell [mailto:carollyn@hamiltoncom.net] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2002 2:55 PM To: MarcoSav Subject: Re: [ILHAMILT-L] Lampley Family John Franklin Reed b.7 Mar 1855 d. 31 Mar 1929 married Ida Florence Lampley .
