Hi List, responding to some recent mention of various Reeders. Does anyone know if there was a Jane Reeder? I am looking for a Jane born SC about 1825. This Jane married my ancestor Josiah Dobbs, Jr. and they lived in Jefferson Co. but I haven't found a marriage record yet. (Jos. Jr. was son of Josiah Dobbs, Sr. and his first wife, name unknown but possibly Blanton, who migrated to Hamilton Co. before 1827 from NC/SC and TN, and who moved to Wayne Co. about 1836.) I think Josiah Jr. and Jane married in 1848 or 1849, and I think she probably died in childbirth or shortly thereafter. My ancestor William Dobbs was born 1851, and in 1853 Josiah married again, to Elizabeth Jane Webber. The only people I've seen in the 1850 Jeff Co. census who were born SC were Reeders and I'm wondering if they are connected to the Ham Co. Reeders and if so perhaps I could get a straw to grasp regarding Jane. I'd appreciate any information or suggestions. Kate Dobbs Ariail
Kate, The Reeders in Hamiton County have a relationship to the Benbrook line. William C Reeder was born 1791-1795 in Kentucky, he was a son of Joel (Sr) & Rebecca Reeder. William C Reeder married Lucy Benbrook in Warren County, Kentucky on 12 Jul 1817. There is a South Carolina connection however, Thomas Milton Reeder's Will recorded on 27 Frb 1840 in Picken District, SC, mentions his half-brother, Joel Reeder. This is all the info I have, but Pickens District may give you a clue for a location in SC.
