Sharon, I have a REED line in my family. There is David and his wife Jane, both born in the late 1700's. I show them with 8 children. One of the daughters married into my TROUP family. Most of my REEDS were in Juniata County. If this might be a connection to your line, let me know and I will send more information.

From the various censuses, it seems that they had 12 children: 1) Susannah C., born abt 1838/39 2) William H., born abt 1840/41 3) John H., born abt 1842 (may have married Clarissa) 4) Albert James, born abt 1843/44 5) Mary E., bron abt 1844 or 1846 6) Elmira (Caroline), bron abt 1857/58 7) Edmund, born abt 1850 or 1852 8) Nathan B., born abt 1853/54 (did he go to Illinois, a schoolteacher?) 9) Thomas, born 1857 (did he go to Illinois too?) 10) Ada Alice, born abt 1858 11) Laura May, born abt 1860 12) Emma R., born about 1863. Hope this helps out

Your George Reed appears to be the son of Daniel and Catherine Reed of Armagh twp, Mifflin, Pa. He is found working on someone's farm in the 1850 Armagh census at age 13 but is back home in the 1860 Armagh census at age 23 (wrongly transcribed as Rud). Rebecca J. Henry seems to be a daughter of Jonathan and Elizabeth Henry, alos found in the 1850 Armagh twp census. Sue

Sue, Do you happen to know who George Reeds siblings are/were ?

Bea, I have not heard of any of these Reeds yet. I do not know if they are connected to my line. My great-grandfather was Thomas A. Reed, born 1857 in Lewistown, PA.

Sue, Thank you. This information is very helpful. My great-grandfather was Thomas A. Reed. I have been told that went to Chicago to find work at the Chicago World's Fair. I did not know that Nathan went to Chicago, too. How did you find that out? I am trying to find out more about the family. I believe that his parents may have been John S. and Elizabeth M. Do you have any suggestions on how to find out more?

Pat, Thanks for your reply. I have not researched the family back that far yet. According to the 1870 Federal Census there were two older people, probably grandparents, living with the family--Thomas Reed, born abt 1807 and Mary M. Reed, born 1806. If you have a chance, please e-mail me your REED information. Perhaps I can make a connection.
