Nelson Thank you for your email and referral. It is helpful in trying to figure out what Fort Reed was referred to by the Reed in Indiana. I am awaiting information from Indiana State Library and Allen Public Library to see if there was a Fort Reed in Indiana.

Kate, if you just google "Fort Reed" you'll see a bunch in different states. What's important is what time period you are referring to because I see reference to Colonial, Civil and French/Indian wars.
