Hi, My Reeds were in Lancaster PA. Went to TN Alabama Mississippi and Arkansas and later a few went to Texas. I believe a few of the brothers that split up after leaving Pa as the story goes went from Indiana in a different direction. I have no names until 1850 De Soto Mississippi. John Howard Reed was born in 1827 Alabama and parents were from TN. (their names are unknown). Howard Reed married Mary Frances Billingsly (Fanny) her family later changed the name to Billings. Mary was born in 1829 in Tn, Her mothers maiden name was Sarah Du Barry/ Dewberry. John and Fanny were buried in Rowell Arkansas and one of their sons went to Texas. The Billings family went to Texas as well from Mississippi early on. Some of the names the Reed family married were.. Phelps Pennington Smith Cameron Burgoyne Rawls Spakes McKinney Hines Covington Kimbrell Howard Stewart Graves Adams Sinclair Jacks and many more Pat
