Jane and Brenda, My ALLEE ancestors were in several locations in Crawford and Mercer county from 1800 on. One of them (see below) had the middle name REED. I have never been able to determine where that name came from. Just wondering if there might be a connection to the REEDs you mention. __________________________ ISAAC5 ALLEE (ABRAHAM4, ABRAHAM3, JAN2 D'AILLY, NICHOLAS1) was born 1755 in Delaware.
