Chauncey Reed - b. 1809 Durham CT the son of John K. Reed and Catherine N. (---) mar. Sophia Dodge 18 May 1835 in Geauga Co OH. They had three children: Edwin - 1836 Elizabeth - 1839 - 1927 m. Elijah Warner Chamberlain in Boone Co. IL Charles - 1849 Sophia d. 27 Mar 1881 in MN. Any information at all will be appreciated, particularly what became of Chauncey. I have no documented information beyond what I have written here. He is the grandson of John C. Reed of Reed's Gap, Durham, Middlesex County, Connecticut and I am researching all of John's descendants, so I would like to know what became of Chauncey. Thanks, Carol Boggs

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.
