Betty, Thanks for sending the Attachment, I've looked through it, but don't know exactly which name might be connected to my Reed family. I do have a John Reed info that might be some relation to the NC Reeds, all I have on him is from another source who researched the Reeds. John Reed b abtt 1870 prob in TN abt 1799 married Nancy Worth in TN 1800 son Thomas (gg grandfather born - moved to NC-prob w/in-laws, had son John in 1848 in MO. maybe I can find a connection in the Ruby Miller files.
