NC **** buried in Old English Cemetery, Salisbury, Rowan Co., NC ***** buried in Chestnut Hill Cemetery, Salisbury, NC On census reports in this early period, REED and REID seem almost interchangeable, as do COTRELL/COTTRELL and MINOR/MINER. There are even some READs in NC census reports in the early 19th century. There was a JESSE REID who married a PHEBE HOWERTON in Guilford on 19 May 1864, bondsman Wm. A. Linds. Jesse Reid (age 67) is living alone with Phebe (age 50) in the 1870 census in Forsythe Co., NC--occupation shoemaker. This has to be our Jesse with his 3rd wife. I wonder if possibly Phebe Howerton was a Howerton widow since she would have been in her 40s when she married Jesse in 1864, if you believe the 1870 census for her age of 50.
