Bea, Thanks for your reply and your kind offer. Thomas Alvin Reed was born May 1, 1857 in Lewistown, PA. His parents were John S. (born abt 1815) and Elizabeth M. (born abt 1816). John is listed in the 1870 Census as a farmer. The other members of the household on the 1870 Derry, Mifflin Census were: Edmund (born abt 1852) Nathan (born abt 1854) Susan (born abt 1844) Ada A. (born abt 1858) Laura (born abt 1860) Emma R. (born abt 1865) That is all that I know. There is a John Reed listed on Censuses prior to 1870, but I do not know if it is him because they only listed the "Head of Household" on those Censuses. Thomas Alvin Reed emigrated to the Chicago area in the late 1800s for work at the Chicago World's Fair. I would greatly appreciated if you would forward information to me about anything that you might find.
