Hi, I'm new to the list, and thought I would post my area of interest, in hopes that someone on the list might be able to help, or to point me in the right direction. I'm looking for a JOHN WILLIAM REED. In 1937, he listed his address as Route 2, Stonewall, Texas. John William Reed was born in Missouri (or possibly Arkansas) about 1869. He was the son of Samuel Reed, and Sarah (Reed) Ingram Reed. The family moved from Arkansas to Missouri to Kansas, and then to Texas by 1880. I'm not sure when John William Reed made his way to Pontotoc County. I just discovered that there is a John W. Reed buried in the Frisco Cemetery, west of Stonewall. His dates are Sep 5, 1866 - Jul 25, 1955. This MIGHT be the John William Reed I'm looking for, but I'm not sure. Any help, or ideas, would be appreciated. Mike Landwehr West Des Moines, Iowa
Sorry but I have had a lot going on since Dec. so you might have already received this info on your Reed. In the Frisco Cemetery is also listed a Gertrude Reed so this is probably the same family. Hope you recognized some of the names. John Reed is not listed in the 1900 Pontotoc Co. census but is listed in the 1910 one in Franks Prec.. #219 Reed, John W., farmer, head, 42, MO, F: AR, M: AL wife, Gertrude L., 32, MO, US, MO son, George J., 13, OK, MO, MO son, Willie R., 10, OK, MO, MO son, Homer F., 6, OK, MO, MO #216 Reed, Sarah M., 75, AL, US, US son, Robert B., 35, TX, F: AR, M: AL son, James M., 35, TX, F: AR, M: AL Austin, Ceeby E., dau., 38, TX, F: AR, M: AL Austin, Joe, son-in-law, 41, US, US, AL Pierce, Frank, grandson, 15, OK, US, TX --- Sharon Burnett-Crawford OKGenWeb Co-State Coordinator OKGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~okgenweb/ OKBits http://www.rootsweb.com/~okbits/ Pontotoc Co. http://www.rootsweb.com/~okpontot/pontotoc.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Landwehr" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2001 9:14 PM Subject: [OKPONTOT] John William Reed from Stonewall, OK > Hi, > > I'm new to the list, and thought I would post my area of interest, in hopes that someone on the list might be able to help, or to point me in the right direction. > > I'm looking for a JOHN WILLIAM REED.
