Bill, The following from my files may possibly relate to your Reeds: >From J. W. Reed: Taken from Bible records. Joseph Reed, b. 1734, born or left Limerick, Ireland and landed in Charleston, SC between 1761-1769 and received land grant in Camden District, SC. James Reed, his brother left Ireland, born 1729, landed in Charleston, SC between 1761`-1769 and received land grant in Craven, Camden or Granville Dist, SC. All Scotch-Irish. Joseph Reed died in Mecklenburg Co, NC, 11 miles south of Charlotte in 1823 at age 80. He owned 1125 acres of land on a dividing ridge between McCalpin and Four Mile Creek in Providence Township. His brother, James Reed, lived close by but I believe on Four Mile Creek but it was in Lancaster Co, SC. Joseph Reed asks: Is this the same family (Reed) that was in the census of 1820-1830-1840 of Lancaster Co, SC that lived in triangle between Heath Springs-Kershaw and Liberty Hill. Or are these (Reeds) the next generation of Joseph and James Reed from Ireland? I know they all came from the Reed clan from Antrim County, Ireland and before that came from Southern Scotland. Letter from J. W. Reid, Mar. 10, 1986: "Could your Susannah Reid that married Stephen Bullock Pettus in 1825 have married David McGlammery first? Her age fits. She was born Feb. 3, 1795 in SC. Daughter of William Reid (1756-1820) son of James Reed born 1727 in Antrim Co. Ireland and Lancaster Co, Penn and Rowan Co, NC. -Robert Reid Sr, born before 1755, place unknown. Died after 1810 in York Dist, SC. Believed to be the father of James Reid Sr. of Bastrop Co, TX. Robert Reid bought 300 acres on Turkey Creek, York Co.1787 from Francis Ross. In 1802 he sold 300 acres of Turkey Creek to James, Robert G., and Thomas Reid. Louise Pettus
