I haven't been able to trace the family back further than J W REID, b. about 1824 in GA. He married Sarah HARDEMAN in Carroll Co., GA and they lived there for some time before moving to Alabama. I assume he is connected to the other Reids of Carroll Co as many others of that family also moved to St Clair Co., AL. But I have no proof. I would be more than grateful for any help. Thanks, Stephen
