Surnames: REED, BELL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0VB.2ACI/6995 Message Board Post: I am searching for descendants and/or information about a REED family and a marriage that took place in Rowan Co, NC on 26 Dec 1766 between HENRY REED and AGNES BELL (Rowan Co, NC marriage record). I believe Agnes was the daughter of Thomas BELL. A will of a HENRY REED d. abt Aug 1789 in Guilford Co, NC names Agnes REED as his wife. An Agnes REED died in Guilford Co, NC 1800 leaving in the court minutes that she leaves children, James, John, Elizabeth and Henry, orphans of Henry REED. My great grandfather Thomas REED says his grandfather Henry REED came from Ireland, and went to Guilford Co, NC, and that his son John D. REED (my gg grandfather) was born in Guilford Co. Does anyone have information about this family. I live far from NC and can not get there to do research. I would also like to contact a descendant of this family. Thanks. Cecy Rice
