Bea, Hello. Thanks for your reply. Did you see the e-mail from Sue? I have pasted part of it below. Thomas Alvin REED was born May 1, 1857 in Lewistown. He died in Chicago. I think his parents are John S. REED and Elizabeth REED. I do not know if they were born in PA or who their parents were. I tried to look at the 1860 Federal Census and before, but only the Head of Household is listed, so it really is not very useful. They both probably died in PA. As a footnote, there might be something interesting about Elizabeth Reed in the old newspapers. My father wrote something (back in the 1930s when he was a boy) about his great-grandmother having lived a "true life adventure." (This is probably a mystery I will never solve...but you never know.) I am not sure if it is this great-grandparent. But, is there any way I can access old Lewistown newspapers online? If you find anything about Thomas Alvin, John or Elizabeth, please let me know. I greatly appreciate your help and time. All the Best, Sharon Sue's e-mail: The family is in the 1850 Derry twp, Mifflin census, the 1860 Granville twp, Miffliln census, the 1870 Derry twp, Mifflin census and in the 1880 Lewistown, Mifflin census. 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. >From: "Bea Rutherford" <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [PAMIFFLI] Reed family, Derry, Mifflin >Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2005 20:57:29 -0800 > >Sharon, >I have one heck of a time with the Reed families. ......I was told that >they >moved out of state for awhile to Missouri....I have not found any of that >information in the book that I own on Movings............I do though have >all on George and Rebecca Jane Henry on down.....I also know that Jonathan >Henry and Elizabeth Hassinger are Rebecca's parents.
