My great great-grandmother, Araminta Reed, was born, I believe, in Hannibal, Monroe co, in aprox. 1827. (her place of birth is only theory on my part, but because she was living in Clarington,and taken 20 miles or so to be buried in Hannibal, it seems reasonable to think that was where she still had parents and family.) I have found a James Reed, in the 1840 Belmont County Census, Warren Twp, that has a daughter of the right age to be "my" Araminta. Does anyone have any info on James, or any Reeds in that area at that time, that could have been Araminta's father? Sandra -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
