One friend posted Elias>Isaac Reed's line to OHCLERMO-L. A 2nd friend lived where the 1870 Clermont Co,Ohio shows Hillis Reed living, just east 2-3 blocks from the family cemetary where Isaac Reed's widow was buried in 1850. He knows an earlier house burnt in the 1920's on his farm-a house Reed Little told him had a spring in the basement for cooling things. I'm talking a farm on the south side of Clover Creek,and north of Macedonia Rd,Tate township,n Bethel,Clermont Co,Ohio ,where Isaac Reed got a deed 1811,but likely lived earlier. I did an computer search of the 2 Isaac Reed files for Hillis.No luck. I looked in the DAR cemetary book 's Reed cemetary,and 2 Bethel cemetaries for Hillis Reed-no luck. [but they stop at 1900 burials].Finally,in the 1850-75 Clermont Co Marriages,I found Hills W Reeds,23 m Anna S Crouch 21 onMarch 29,1865. That makes Hillis likely too young to answer my 2nd friend's question-"Who built my old barn?" I suppose it was Hillis' father,or grandfather. The beams are broad-axed,and wooden pegged together. And it has a threshing floor. My Dad,1898-2000 grew up across Clover Creek from John Reed's place,and walked past it to Republican 1 room school 7 years. My great uncle writes of running a trapline going and coming from school,across the old Reed farms. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
