Hi Cousin. Moses and Ruth are my GGGG-Grandparents. All I have found about Micager is (unconfirmed by myself) info that he married Elizabeth Barnes (b. abt 1786) on Feb. 6, 1807 in Wilkes Co., NC. Ruth was born March 02, 1808 in Iredell, NC. and was in Warren County, TN. by the time she married Moses in 1825. Annis was in Shelby County by the time she married William on Feb 12, 1835. What is your source for the name Milly Reed being connected to the Reed branch that Moses is a part of? The first thing to always keep in mind is that back in the early 1800's there were two Reed families in Shelby County and so far none of us have been able to find the link between them.
