Hi Sandi, I was hoping you would respond, as you were the one who addressed the possibility of my Nathan REED's connection to your Harrison, Sanford and Nathan REED brothers, which I believe I have now disproven. And, you may have already seen this, for your family, but I am passing it along just in case-- 1840 Census, Washington Twp, Montgomery Co., OH (page 294) Harrison REED - Head of Household Males- Age 0-5 (1) Age 15-20 (1) Age 20-30 (1) Females- Age 20-30 (1) 1840 Census, No town stated, Montgomery Co., OH (page 290) Nathan REED - Head of Household Males- Age 0-5 (1) Age 5-10 (2) Age 20-30 (2)-----Probably Nathan REED and another unknown Male age 20-30 Females- Age 60-70 (1) ---Possibly the mother of Nathan, Harrison and Sanford REED ? (Sounds like Nathan REED is widowed with 3 boys under the age of 10 and his aged mother is helping with the kids ??? Next Household (p 290) is John MERRILL -HOH Males Age 60-70 (1) Females Age 60-70 (1) Next Household (p 290) is Sanford REED - HOH Males Age 20-30 (1) ---this would be Sanford REED, apparently single and living alone. Other REED HOH names listed on the 1840 census for-- No township stated, Montgomery Co., OH- are-- Barbara, Charles, Elizabeth, Gilbert, Isaac, Jacob(2), James, John(5), Jonathan, Joseph T., McQwire, Nelson, Peter, Samuel, Starkey, Thomas and William REED I am going to sleuth around and see if I can find anything else, which might be helpful to you. I am sure it must have been wonderful to have the opportunity to photograph the family gravestones.

Thanks Diana, I'd love that. Can you send me the birth years of the other Reeds nearby -- there should be Cordells nearby also. Some Cordells also moved to IL then KS and are buried in the same cemetery. Harrison's wife was Eliza Cordell and Sanford's wife was Mary Cordell. The family has no knowledge of Nathan's wife or children, but I'd love to know the truth.

Hi Sandi, If you mean, you would like the birth years for the other REEDs on the 1840 census, there are no exact ages listed in1840, only the name of the HOH and tick marks for the ages of others living in the household. Your Nathan REED's wife's name is "Hannah" per census record below (listed in between Sanford REED's family and John MERRILL's family) 1850 US Census, Brooklyn, Schuyler Co., IL Nathan REED, age 38, Occ-Cooper, b NY Hannah REED, age 35, b ME Rufus REED, age 15, Occ-Cooper, B OH Harrison REED, age 13, b OH John F. REED, age1, ME (Maine--interesting...Perhaps Hannah is a "Merrill", named after her mother Hannah Merrill, as John and Hannah Merrill were born in ME, per the 1850 census I transcribed in the email I sent earlier ??) --after this 1850 census, your Nathan REED family seem to have dropped the Map ! Exception-- I found a Harrison REED (possible son of Nathan REED-above, the right age-23, farmer, born Ohio on the 1860 Census--IN JAIL in Marion, Marion, OH... Also found-- Illinois Public Land Purchase Records (ancestry.com)- REED, Sanford - Section NWSE - Price $125 - Total 5000 - Date 06 November 1840, Volume 697 - Page 125 - 4,000 acres REED, Sanford E2SE - $125 - 10000 - 06 November 1840 - 697 - 125 - 8,000 acres (this is all the info listed on this record/Diana) Please comment back on Hannah REED, wife of your Nathan REED.
