Bethany The clipping I have of Calvin Crawford states he is the son of William and Nancy Crawford. He died January 17,1917. Later on in the piece it states he cared for his mother who passed away 3 years before. His father, 6 brothers and 2 sisters survived him. Don't know if this is your Nancy or not. I cannot find any direct connections to my Reed family. Have several clippings on John W Reed's family. Can't find any connections here either.

WOW! Our emails must have crossed in the wires. Yes! You've got the correct Nancy (and her son, Calvin). I'd love a copy of this clipping, if possible. I'll share with you anything I may have that you might be interested in (Crawfords, that is) in exchange for the effort. Thank you for your time, Bonnie!

I just checked the Ancestry fiiles for William Gray Reed. This William Gray Reed was married to Mary Ellen BRIDGES. His parents are listed as Peter Reed and Nancy Gray. Other children are listed as [1] Calvin Herd Reed - born 22 Oct 1824, in Hardin County, Kentucky. [2] Thomas Ish Reed - born 1820 in BBreckinridge Co., Kentucky. [3] Mary Jane Reed - born 10 Mar 1827, Breckinridge Co., Ky. [4] John Washington Reed - b. 5 Apr 1831, Breckinridge Co. KY [5] Lisa Reed [6] Martha J. Reed [7] Nancy Ann Reed - b 1844, in Breckinridge Co., KY (she married a Crawford) and [8] William Gray Reed - b. 1845 Breckinridge Co., KY. This is not my reasearch, I do have research, but also a puzzle reguarding the William Gray Reed family. I remember as a teenager, visiting my father's Reed cousins, in Orisi, Tulare County. I also have visited Smiith Mountain Cemetery, near Dinuba, Tulare County California, where several of my Bridges uncles and their wives are buried. In this cemetery, William Gray Reed and his wife, Mary Ellen (Bridges) Reed, also are buried there. My father, Elmer Ely Bridges( 27 Nov 1889- 18 Jun 1976) told me that following the death of Jerome Bridges (Downing, Schuyler Co., Missouri- 31 Jan 1901) at least two of his children, William Green Bridges and Mary Ellen Bridges Reed and their families purchased tickets on the train and moved from Missouri to Tulare County, California. In about 1980, I visited, my late father's cousin, Katie Reed Oneal and took form her family records and Bibles the following data: Mary Ellen Bridges, married William Gray Reed, 17 Nov 1871, Schuyler Co., Missouri. Records in posession of Katie Reed Oneal, list the following children as being born to William Gray Reed and Mary Ellen Bridges Reed were: [1] Wesley Columbus Reed, b. 08 Jan 1872; [2] Jesse S. Reed, b. 21 May 1874.(death record gives birth as 21 May 1873 and death date as 02 Feb 1952, Fresno Co., California. [3] Martha Reed, b. 03 Oct 1872. [4] Mary Reed, b. 03 Oct 1973; [5]Thomas O. Reed, b. 24 Nov 1883 and [6] Katie Reed, b. 03 May 1891 and died 23 Jan 1989. Now comes a puzzle, The twins Mary and Martha and one of the boys died in infancy. I find census record in 1920, Tulare County, CA, Dinuba Twp for(household 3; residence 3) [line 35] Oliver O. Oneal, his wife Katie (Reed)[line 36] and three children; [line 37] Alfred, [line 38]Lola M. and[line 39] Wilfred. [line 40] Mary Reed, Katie's mother is in household also. William Gray Reed died Feb 1919. The next household is the puzzle. (Household 4- residence 4) [line 41]James O Reed, his wife Anna [line 42] ; children: William G [line 43]; Geraldine [line 44]; Walter [line 45]; Linley [line 46]; Orval [line 47]. (Household 5, residence 5) Jesse S Reed [9 line 48] his wife, Lucinda [line 49] and children: Paul [line 50] next page- [Line 1] Nellie; [line 2] Checked William Gray Reed, Miller Twp., SCOTLAND , Co MISSOURI James O Reed just older than Katie. If there are any questions- I just got out of the hospital.
