Hello I am looking for Reid's in Burnet County, Texas. In particular a Morgan Reid. He was probably born around the turn of the century and was in Taylor, Texas for a while, before his last known residence tending a sheep ranch in Burnet County. I have been unable to find anything on a Morgan REID, but I have spoken to folks there that say it sounded familiar, but unfortunatley nothing more. Morgan may have been his middle name or he may have gone by another name as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Craig _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam? Get advanced junk mail protection with MSN 8. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Hello All. Wondering if any one has any information of the Reid Family from Scotland. My Grandfather was Walter Reid and married a Margaret or Maggie Houston approx. 1897, They had children James,William.Sarah.Margaret Elizabeth & Walter. I am sure they were all from Lanarkshire,Glasgow area. I am also looking for Crawford and Bulloch all from Scotland/ Any one has any info I would love to hear from you. Many Thanks. Heather

Hi all, My maternal g.grandfather George William Reid 1831-87 was Keeper of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum. His father George was anattendant in the same Dept and could well have become Keeper but died at 45 in 1843. He was bap at Folkestone Mar 1799 but it was recorded that he was born on 1st Aug 1798, the date of the Battle of the Nile There are no other Reid entries in the Folkestone reg for ten years either wy. His father, also George, "held an appointment at Dover Castle furing the wars with France". The family were reported as coming from the Dunkeld area but searches of the registers have not found any Reids bearing relevant christian names.

Hello fellow researchers, It has been several months since I last offered to share some of the more important research items discovered during my study of the Scotch-Irish.  Because of the amount of time required to copy and mail these items I will only be able to do this once a year. ( I make my living selling real estate)  You will find three new items listed below as well as the original items listed in my January post. Rockbridge County, Virginia Notebook, Compiled from Articles by Dr. George W. Diehl as published in the News-Gazette, Lexington, Virginia.  Additional charts and notes have been added as well as a surname index.  Compiled by A. Maxim Coppage III, 242 pages. For a number of years, the late Dr. George W. Diehl contributed historical and genealogical articles to the News-Gazette, Lexington, Virginia, published by M.W. Paxton, Jr.  The clippings from the paper were sent to Mr. Coppage for the "Virginia Collection"  In many instances information may be found showing where families originated in Scotland or Ireland, the places lived before settling in the Rockbridge County, Virginia area and the relationships between various clans or as Dr. Diehl so aptly named this phase of pioneering, "A Rockbridge Seed-box." "A Tribute to the Principles, Virtues, Habits and Public Usefulness of the Irish and Scotch Early Settlers of Pennsylvania," Chambersburg, Pa. Printed by M. Kiefer & Co. 1856, 171 pages. From the prefece the following:  "The writer of the Tribute contained in this work, had long desired to see from the Historical publications in Pennsylvania, a vindication of the character and principles of the Irish and Scotch early settlers of this great State and their descendants against reproach, as well as aspersion, cast upon them in some modern publications having pretensions to Historical accuracy"....Lots of detail on the early members of the church as well as problems with the Indians and the struggle over land rights during the westward expansion. The Scotch-Irish In The Colonies: 1750-1790 A Thesis Presented for the Degree of Master of Arts by Kathryn R. Aikin, A.B., The Ohio State University, 1933 Contents include Introduction, Early Settlements, Daily Life on the Frontier, Educational and Religious Activities, Military Pursuits, and Political Participation and Conclusion.  Also a GREAT Bibliography, the most important part of any thesis. Listed below are the other books and manuscripts previously offered to the various surname lists that are predominately Scotch-Irish: The Laggan and its Presbyterianism and In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery, 1905,1908, by the Rev. Alexander Lecky, B.A., member of the Royal Sociey of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, 54 Kings St.  211 pages    On our recent trip to Donegal we met J.B. Shannon, age 90, who assisted in the 1975 reprinting of this book.  He is the last living person who had anything to do with these books and he says they are still the BEST source for Ulster Presbyterian research.  From Lecky I quote, "The lists of names of former generations of Lagganeers, and their places of abode, that are given in the Appendixes, and which NEVER before appeared in print, whilst they may of necessity prove dull reading to those who have no acquaintance with the locality, will not, I hope, be altogether uninteresting to those who bear the same name, or live in the same places..." Fighters of Derry, Their Deeds and Descendants, being a Chronicle of Events in Ireland during the Revolutionary period 1688-1691, by William Young, Eyre and Spottiswoode, London, 350 pages.    One of the most difficult sources to locate, in fact almost impossible.  Months worth of reading and packed with great genealogy.  Contains the following biographical sketches:    1.  The leaders of the County Associations who, with their levies, took part in the preliminary operations and contributed much of the man power for the Defence. 2.  The Apprentice Boys and those responsible for shutting the gates on the 8th Dec. 1688. 3.  The actual Defenders during the 105 day siege (over 1200 genealogical sketches) 4.  Those engaged in the relief of the city A History of the Siege of Londonderry and Defense of Enniskillen in 1688 and 1689, with Historical Poetry and Biographical notes, by the Rev. John Graham, M.A. Rector of Magilligan in the Diocese of Derry.  Includes the Battles of the Boyne, Athlone, and Aughrim and the siege and Capitulation of Limmerick by Lord McCaulay, Toronto, 1869    The historical poems are family genealogies about those who were at Derry and where they came from.  Along with "Fighters of Derry" these two sources contain more actual genealogical information than any others I have seen. Three Hundred Years in Innishowen, Being More Particularly an Account of the Family of Young of Culdaff with Short Accounts of Many Other Families Connected with Them, by Amy Young, 1929, The Linenhall Press, Belfast, 311 pages.    Some of the names included are Young, Hart, Harvey, Cary, Vaughan, McLaughlin, Skipton, Richardson, Knox, Ussher, Smith, Nesbitt, Chichester, Ball, Lawrence, Crofton, Boyd, Stuart and many others. The Laggan and its People, by S.M. Campbell, privately printed. A look at the history of the Laggan (Presbyterian Derry/Donegal) through the eyes of a local historian. Draws on local lore, Abercorn papers, records from PRONI. The Tinkling Spring: Headwater of Freedom, A Study of the Church and Her People, 1732-1952, by Howard McKnight Wilson, 1954, Fisherville, Virginia 542 pages    The best source of information on the Scotch-Irish of Augusta/Rockbridge Counties in Virginia.  Includes the Baptismal Records of the Rev. Craig.  In-depth study of the early families of the Shenandoah Valley. Castle's Woods: Frontier Virginia Settlement, 1769-1799, a thesis presented to the Faculty of the Department of History, East Tennessee State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of master of Arts, by James W. Hagy, 1966, 150 pages.    The most popular of the documents offered, this covers the families who settled in Russell county, Virginia when it was considered the frontier.  If your ancestors came through southwestern Virginia, this document is the history of your family.  Contains information on specific families as well as the farmers, speculators, artisans, and preachers who resided there.  Lots on the Indian battles that were a daily feature of life on the frontier.  Names like Russell, Walker, Porter, Cowan, Houston, Boone, Montgomery, Fraley, Thompson, Anderson, Kilgore, and 50 or so other "Scotch-Irish" families make this an invaluable resource for your family history. The Reverend Samuel Houston, V.D.M., by George West Diehl, 1970, McClure Publishing Co. 125 pages History of the early Virginia Presbyterians through the life of the Rev. Samuel Houston, kin to Sam Houston of Texas fame. The Stirling Merchant Gild and Life of John Cowane, founder of Cowane's Hospital in Stirling, by David B. Morris, Town Clerk, Stirling, Jamieson & Munro, LTD. 1919, 367pages. This is really two books in one.   The first part deals with the Gild. Laws, history, struggle with Unfreemen and with the Crafts, Administration, Merchandising, Conditions of entry, etc. and the second part which is about the life of John Cowane, Dean of the Gild and his contributions to it. Well there you have it.  The best documents I have found.  If you are interested in obtaining any of the above items (I would like to make copies for free but I can't) contact me at [email protected] for  details. Regards, Robert Cowan 525 Harrogate Rd. Matthews, North Carolina 28105

Hi, I found reference to Joseph Reid, son of Thomas Reid, who left Inverness, Scotland for Botetourt Co. VA and eventually settled in Augusta Co. Va. Said to have a son Nathaniel who served in the American Revolution and was granted land in the Old Pendleton District of SC for his service in the book "The Nathan Reids of Virginia in the March of Freedom", by Elizabeth Reid Austin and Helen Reid Roberts. If someone on the list could look for info on Nathaniel I would really appreciate it. Thank you for any help you can give. Warm Regards, Lois Branch

>I also have a photo of a Winnie and Emmett Reid, youngsters taken about >1880-1900ish I am wanting to find their home. Those are familiar names. My relative Emmett Hardin Reid was the son of Joseph Monroe Reid. Emmett was b. ca 1900 and is deceased. I know nothing more about him. Winnie Reid (Sartor) 1896 - 1974, was a daughter of the same Joseph Monroe Reid but by an earlier wife. (Always eager to share REID data.) One Nation Under God.

I also have a photo of a Winnie and Emmett Reid, youngsters taken about 1880-1900ish I am wanting to find their home. Leona

I have a nice old photo of a Harry Babbit taken at J. B. Wilson, 389 State St, Chicago. I have no connection to any Babbits just being kind and wanting a home for this photo. Nice looking man, he appears to have light brown eyes, maybe hazel in color, med brown hair, and thin built, age aprox, maybe 16-22. Photo maybe taken 1890-1900 Leona

I have direct connections with the Steedman family who were around the Swanston/Colinton area of Edinburgh, Scotland in the first half of the 1800s and later in Edinburgh. A Janet A [ perhaps Anne] Steedman [ b abt 20 January 1850 daughter of Richard Trotter Steedman and Janet Reid ] married on 16 June 1876 a William McKay [ who was I believe the son of James and Margaret Gunn ] from Dornoch, Sutherland, Scotland. They had at least 3 children - James, Jessie Reid and Richard Trotter. William was a widower when he married Janet. A number of the Steedman families are to be found living in Edinburgh the 1881 census. There is also be a strong Trotter family connection somewhere because Janet and William named their son Richard Trotter after her father and the Trotter name was used in conjunction with the forename of Richard several times in the family names. Anyone else researching these families?

I have an Alexander Reid born @ 1810-bef 1872 lived in Dunfanaghy but apparently the line was from Scotland.

Children: George, Elizabeth (Lizzie), John, Adam?, Margaret, Alexander, Anna, Maria, Martha. George married JAne McCoullough October 11, 1855 Ballymore Parish Clondahorky, Co. Donegal, Ireland Elizabeth went to Philadelphia & married Frank RAbin & then James McLain of Scotland apparently they went back & forth to Scotland John it is said went to Australia and was never heard from Adam was supposedly blind Maraget never married lived & died in Ballyconnell, Crossroads, Dunfanaghy, Donegal, Irelandbut had a child Catharine "Katie"Reid Sayres Alexander married Martha Hay November 20, 1855 Ballymore Parish Church of Ireland, Clondahorky Co Donegal Anna married Charles McKinley April 20, 1858 Dunfanaghy Ireland Maria married the brother of Charles, John McKinley January 19,1861Raymunterdoney, Ireland Martha came to Philadelphia and married Samuel Hood Not sure if any of this connects with yours.

Hello Naomi, I have received an email, I don't think your Reid's are mine. They were all born in Scotland, James Reid never married. Margaret married a Jock Russell, they had a Daughter Margaret, and son Alexander. I can go back to my gggrandmother and she was Scotland as well. I was hoping there would be a connection, as I have been looking for a long time. Thanks again. Heather.
