My ggg grandfather, David Reed, died in Belmont County, Ohio, in 1815. His mother was an Elizabeth Reed. For quite a long time a cousin and I have researched these 2 Reeds, trying to establish what Elizabeth Reed's maiden name was and what became of her husband who we believe to have been a James Reed. Recently we've found evidence that Elizabeth may have been born Elizabeth Peacock, daughter of Adonijah Peacock, in Burlington County, New Jersey, who married a James Reed there in about 1775. Elizabeth Reed died in Belmont County in 1822. Elizabeth's oldest son was a James Reed, pointing to the possibility that her husband was also James Reed. David Reed named his oldest son James, also an indication that he was named for the paternal grandfather. We have no evidence of what happened to James Reed, since he did appear at the time of David's death or of Elizabeth's. One of Elizabeth's sons was named Adonijah, again pointing to the possibility that he was named for the maternal grandfather. Help, or suggestions would be appreciated. Doris Reed Forsyth
