Our line is John Reed, a Blacksmith, who settled on the Manor of Maske in March 1740. Our DNA results are under the group 'Adams&Fayette Co,PA' at: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Reed/default.aspx?section=yresults May Riley, author of 'Thru the Years', assisted us in finding a descendant of Col. James Reed, who settled on the Manor of Maske in August 1738. That participants DNA does NOT match ours, his DNA is listed under the group 'KY to MO' Any Reed male wishing to participate in the Y-DNA project can go to this site: http://www.familytreedna.com/group-join.aspx?Group=Reed Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
