Hello I need help in finding the location of an old fort. I recently received a copy of an old document stating that an ancestor was at Fort Reed at one point. This ancestor was in both Clark or Floyd Counties in Indiana at different times, dying in Indiana. Have you heard of a Fort Reed and if so could you describe it and it's location. This person had also been previously in Kentucky, before that Fayette Co., Pa and was probably born in Virginia. Thank you, Kate Ross __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Fort Reed (1775 - 1778), Lock Haven A settlers' fort evacuated during the "Big Runaway" of 1778. A few miles south of the present location of Fort Indiantown Gap, in 1755, the house of Adam Reed, Esquire, was turned into a fort. Reed used this fort to protect the people of the countryside from sudden Indian attacks. One might say that Adam Reed was the first “Commander” of Fort Indiantown Gap. Ft. Indiantown Gap.
