This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Reid Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.reid/3737/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi everyone I am faced with a curly problem in ancestor tracking which may be of interest to others on the list My wife's Great Grandfather was Robert Reid who at one point was the owner of Robert Reid & Co as well as a major share holder in Buckley & Nunn. The Robert Reid & Co. wharehouse still stands in Flinders Street Melbourne. In 1889 he was interviewed for a article to be published in Table Talk and the following rather startling revelation was made. Table Talk November 25 1889 p 5 to 6 "The name of Robert has been long in the family. When at home on his last visit to Scotland, the subject of this biography was talking with his uncle, an old man of 86, who said to him, "Your mither'll no ken wha your're c'ad after," and proceeded to relate how Mr. Reid's great-uncle, Robert Reid, after whom his father had been named, was a bold, buccaneering sort of a character, who ran away from home and joining service with Captain Cook, was present at the planting of the British flag in New South Wales in 1787. To which the grand-nephew replied that he wished his relatives had told him of his wild, freebooting great-uncle on his former visit to Scotland three years before, as he had since been present at the Australian Centennial Banquet of 1887, when the story then and there told would have some point of interest. "I feel quite as proud of being descended from such a man," said Mr Reid to his old uncle, "as English people do, who date their origin from the coming over to their island of that Norman Robber, William the Conqueror," which sentiments surprised the octogenarian much, as he had been designating the Robert Reid of 1787 a "blackguard and a ne'ar-do-well," but his great-nephew maintains that it is men of such adventurous and intrepid spirit who have made the British Empire what it is, and have laid the foundation of a future colonial aristocracy (the latter used in the best sense of the word) will look back with pride to their brave and glorious forefathers, the first planters of the British Standard on this great Australian Continent, and with it established British speech, laws, energy and enterprise on this side of the globe, all which are fast developing a great southern nation, full of large possibilities and potent influences in the subsequent history of the world." Now as far as I can work out the Uncle would have been either John - who was a merchant with ties to South America or Alexander who was a Master Gardener in Angus Scotland. The Robert Reid I am looking for would have been born in 1846. There are two Reid's in the First Fleet who are not convicts that I can find. Robinson Reid Carpenter HMS Supply Reid H first mate Storeship Borrowdale Now allowing for the difficulty of reading many old records that have been hand written both Reid's could fit the bill particularly Reid H as it would be easy to see a R as H. The first Reid is more problematical as it would be harder to fit Robert into Robinson. Can anyone out there point me to records that may resolve the mystery. Bill Brunswick Victoria

From my understanding this Distant ancestor Methodist leader wrote a number of books, I am trying to locate copies or someone who has the books that may lend them to me to copy.

I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as Borniz or Bomiz REID which was taken at the F. L. Saunders Studio in Woodward, Oklahoma. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with the man in the photograph likely in his 30's at the time it was taken. The first name is difficult to read and in addition to his name, someone has written "to Aunt Ann" on the back of the photograph. I am hoping to locate someone from the family so that this wonderful old family photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of the family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Seeking information on Annie Reid, who gave her age as 23yrs in 1870 (b. C1847) born in Edinburgh, Scotland. She gave birth to a daughter also named Annie Reid in Melbourne Australia on 30th October 1870. The child spend a lot of time being reared by an Ellen Rogers. Annie Snr gave no details of the father of the child on Annie Jnrs birth certificate. On Annie Jnrs marriage certificate her father was stated as John Reid with the name Smith written underneath. I feel this may be a 'cover up' as the father maybe unknown BUT I could be wrong. Annie Snr stated her maiden name was Annie Reid on the birth certificate for Annie Jnr. Family 'story' has it that she was pregnant to the son of the house and fled to Australia and that her family advertised in a Melbourne paper for her to contact and she refused. Neither of these have been proven. I have not been able to find any records for Annie Snr in Australia. I have the information for Annie Jnr Carol

I have a first cousin four times removed one Templeton Reid who was a blacksmith, jeweler, gunsmith or handyman depending on the source of the data. He was also the fella who moved from Milledgeville, Georgia to Gainesville, George and developed a business smelting and coining the local gold during the goldrush in northern Georgia. Templeton Reid was born between 1756 and 1760 in Georgia and was the son of Alexander Reid Jr., the brother of Captain Samuel Reid who I am descended from. I cannot find any information about the family and possible descendants of Templeton Reid. Does anyone know anything about his family? Gordon Reid Hale, Jr. Grand Prairie, Texas
