Hi, Laura, No, the James Reid you refer to was a grandson of the other James. The earlier one was b. in Scotland in 1660. He and his son John came over in the 1680s. John is the father of the second James. James "II" was b. 19 Dec 1727 in NJ, d. 29 Dec 1809. He and Moica were my 5th great grandparents. You can pick up a lot about the Reids from Dave Conover's Conovergenealogy.com. I'll also be glad to share with you. Les Conover
