Ann, I have a dozen or more READ, REED, REID family group sheets from the Old Cambridge District, but none of them are actually compiled in to family units, more or less just miscellaneous scraps as I gathered them through the years. The only Thomas I have is a marriage record. Thomas REID of West Arlington, VT married Addie S. BISHOP [np] 0n 31 OCT 1876, at the Cambridge ME Church, by Rev. S.M. WILLIAMS. There were REEDs in the area Scots/Irish from before the revolution. Connected with the early Presbyterian church in Cambridge.

Thanks, Dick - My crowd was solidly RC, and I've checked with St. Pat's in Cambridge, but to no avail. Ann
