Hi Robert and all, I am also stuck with a Reed in Somerset County. My Rachel Reed (1786-c1835) was married to Joseph Bonnell Sturgis in Nov 1805 at Basking Ridge. I am a descendant of their son Joseph James Sturgis (1815-1896). Rachel has been a real brick wall for me and I'd love to hear from anyone with ANY Reeds (or Reid) from 18th century Somerset County. Thanks, Rick Novak
