Reed 3 months Feb.1880 1900 Census Norwich Chenango J.Dakin Reed August 1838 NY dealer in wool Vernette Reed wife march 1855 John O. Reed Feb.1880 age 20 Married 16 years ( if you subtract the census year from years married, 1884 is the year vernette and J.Dakin Reed were married). Vernette is not John O.Reed's mother, but seeing his mother died when he was young, he probably called her his mother, seeing in the 1910 census, she is listed as his mother. 1910 Census Norwich Chenango New York John O.
