Does anyone own this book (or its CD format) and could tell me if Harmon READ and father Aaron READ is listed in the index? Another Read researcher needs a lookup. He may be crossreferenced as a Pendry (his wife's name).. The Reads and Their Relatives, Being an Account of Colonel Clement and Madam Read of Bushy Forest, Lunenburg County, Virginia, their Eight Children, their Descendants, and Allied Families. This book is written by ALICE READ (MRS. SHELLEY ROUSE), 1930, Johnson & Hardin Press, Cincinnati Betty Pace

I keep looking for Electa Reed born 1800 Ct. She married a McMillan but I don't know whether in Ct or NY where they were living in 1850. She named her daughter Lucy Caroline. Could that have been from her Mother? Just a thought.

Bela Reed married Betsey Bennet Nov. 8, 1792 Hampton, Windham county, CT. So far I have only two children: Lucinda Lindcoln Reed b. Mar 28, 1793, married Abram Wyllys, and Betsey Reed b. Oct. 26, 1795, both born in Hampton, Ct. Trying to find parents of Bela and Betsey. Also looking for other children of this couple. Thank you, april

Josiah Reed born 23 July 1753 MA died in Westfield Vermont in 1804, probably the son of Lt John and Lucy Reed of Mendon Worcester County MA. Josiah's son, Rodolophus Reed, also went to Westfield Vermont which is probably why Josiah went there also. Josiah's wife, Elizabeth unknown, remained in Massachusetts and is believed to have died at Uxbridge in 1819. Wanting to clarify that Josiah Reed who died in Westfield Vermont is the son of Lt John and Lucy Reed as I have found conflicting information which suggests that the Josiah Reed born 23 July 1753 son of Lt John and Lucy Reed married a Betsey Taylor and probably died in MA? Any info appreciated, thank you Janice

Looking for the parents of Luther Howe born about 1780 probably MA (maybe Worcester Co). Luther went to Westfield Vermont and married Lydia Reed on the 16 Jan 1842. Luther was considerably older than Lydia, in fact he was the same age as her mother, Sally Hill Reed. I am wondering if his family was connected to the Hill family? Thanks for any info Janice

M.E. jsorensen4@cfl.rr.com Perhaps not the same Electa Reed, but there is an Electa Reed buried in Sand Hill Cemetery in Town of Seneca, Ontario County, NY. She apparently was the daughter of John Taft Reed, and the wife of a Wilson Butcher. My notes have her as being born in 1829 and death on 7 Dec 1891. From Geneva Gazette 18 December 1891 Obituary - The death of Mrs. Wilson Butcher at her home near Stanley on the 7th inst., has caused profound sorrow not only to her immediate family surviving, but to a large circle of other relatives and friends. The deceased was a native of the town of Seneca, a daughter of the late Taft Reed, a family known as among the pioneer settlers of this region. About forty years ago she married a worthy neighbor, Mr. Wilson Butcher, with whom her life has been contented and happy. Two children survive the union, a son and daughter, both comfortably circumstanced. She had been an invalid for two or three years but bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude. Her funeral took place on the 9th inst., interment in Sand Hill cemetery. Her age was 62 years.

I believe I have read some of your postings about Electa Reed on the Madison County list as well. Sometimes it is almost impossible to find people in that time frame, as the records may no longer be there. Good luck with your search. Carol Boggs

Ohio Nob 1886 (g/niece) (note no Sarah) Next door is David Reed (uncle?) This would fit with your date of death and age in 1908, albeit this James Reed, if census info can be relied upon, would be abt 80 and seems he had children- what do you think? Janice

James Reed born March 1841 NH the son of Erastus Reed and Betsey Marks. Seems to have left NH between 1860 and 1870, in 1870 living Lee Centre Ill, believe married in Ill about 1871 to Sarah unknown, she born July 1849 in PA. Four children born to this marriage (source census), couple living in Adams Co., Nebraska in 1900. James died between 1900 and 1910, Sarah living Keith Co., Nebraska in 1910 and Dawson Co Nebraska in 1920. Info on children etc appreciated Janice

James E Reed born about 1839/40 probably in Peterborough NH the son of Erastus B Reed and Betsey Marks. Believe that James is living Lee Centre Illinois in 1870, listed along with his step-mother, Mercy, and possible daughter or sibling, "Lizzie" aged 5 years and born MA. Can't find James after 1870 census, I'm sure he went to Illinois because he had Reed cousins who lived in Ogle County Ill - wondering who he married? Was Lizzie his daughter or sibling? James' father, Erastus B Reed was born Vermont 1809 and he was the son of Rodolphus Reed and Sally Hill. Appreciate any info, thanks Janice
