KS...She was b. Aug 1836 in PA and had 3 children with Mr. Reed, 2 living in 1900. I have no idea who they are. Mary was Benjamin's 2nd wife and I'd hoped to find out more about her. Your message caught my eye for several reasons--not quite because of Mary! It's kind of complicated but I hope this is somehow relevant to your message! Benjamin's son, Jesse Schisler, married Cora Guy. Cora's dad, Enoch Guy was the son of Mary Jane WRIGHT (b. 14 Sept 1815, VA) and Alfred GUY (b. 10 Oct 1810, NC). On 7 Sept 1854, Enoch GUY's sister, Harriett, married Walter Brownlee in Portsmouth, Scioto, OH. They lived across the river in Lewis Co., KY. In 1860, they are in the Doniphan Co., KS census, living nextdoor to the S. J. REED family--S. J. was b. abt. 1810 in Ohio, his wife, Emily was also b. abt. 1810 in Ohio, and so was son Jesse, 17. James, 14, A. J., 11, Emily 7, were born in MO and Perry, 5 was born in Cal. Susanna RIGHT, 16, b. KY, daughter of Minerva/Mary WRIGHT is living in the REED household as a domestic. In the 1870 census, Minerva WRIGHT is living in Enoch's household so I think she might be his aunt. I have never found her husband's first name. She is also in the 1850 Lewis Co., KY census. I might be mistaken, but the Martins may have been mentioned in connection with the Reeds in Reno Co., KS. I have a David Martin, 28, OH and Sarah Martin, 21, OH living next-door to the Reeds in 1860 Doniphan Co., KS. I just thought that these Reed/Wright connections near & in Scioto Co., OH (and sort of a Reno Co, KS connection to boot!) were interesting and hoped you might know something about S.J? Thanks for your time! Susan
