Hello Robbintina: I haven't been following your line, so don't know of any relationship with mine. However, several generations back I have a Mary Reid (and various spellings) in Hope, IN (Bartholomew Co and surrounds) who came from Forsythe Co, Salem, NC -- her family, as many of the others in the area, were Moravians who originally came into the US as early as the late 1600's, usually in ports in NY and PA, first settling in Bethlehem, PA. When that Moravian community became over crowded, the group funded and founded the community in NC. When that community began to be crowded, a large group came to IN to found the community of Hope, and the Moravian Church which still exists today, along with a grave yard with many burials. No time to research this further (on my way out of town again!), but I hope this helps. If you would like more info, let me know and I can dig in my files later (the above info is from memory).
