Hi, all ... This may or may not help, but I have a Rebecca Reed in my lineage. She was born circa 1816, married Jacob McFadden 19 May 1835, and died 16 Jan 1890 (the latter two events apparently in Jefferson County). I haven't been able to obtain documentation for these facts yet, but thought I'd pass them along in case they may provide a clue to someone.
