Patricia I may have contacted you before. My Reed/Reid family came down to NC from VA in mid to late 1700s--Name then Read--probably part of the Bushy Forest Reads of Lunenburg, Charlotte counties of VA. I wonder if you have run into this John Clement Reid? I found one in Orange Co. NC who married into the Tate family. Does anyone know anything about this John Reid/Reed who married this Elizabeth Tate in Orange Co., NC, in 1787? There was a James Tate connected to my Elizabeth Tate also. My John Clement Reid had sons named Jesse (my ancestor, b. Wake Co. 1803), Nathan, and Green.

One theory stated that John Reed was born in NC 1746 however I believe they had not arrived that early, maybe in the 1750s????? And I am looking in the Orange Co. NC area moving into Rowan or possibly vice versa. There were three distinct Reed families in Rowan Co. area. What were other surnames connected to your Reeds? Patricia
