Lew, >From Gilbert Cope, I locate it in Thornbury Township, Delaware County - no specific address. John Source: "Genealogy of the Dunwoody and Hood Families...", Gilbert Cope, Tribune Publishing Co., Minneapolis, MN, 1899, p. 15 "Hugh Reed of Thornbury, 'being under weight of years and weakness of body,' made his will dated April 22, 1834, which was proved Aug. 31, 1835. He mentions his son John, grand daughter Sarah Allison, son in law Curtis Cheyney and his wife Ann, and daughter Martha Woolley. His executors, Saml Woolley, Curtis Cheyney and William Cheyney were directed to sell the land, about 200 acres in Thornbury, next lands of James Townsend, Hill Brinton and others. He also mentions his deceased brothers William and John Reed.
