    1. REID Family
    2. Over 50 years ago my grandmother spoke of her grandfather, MATTHEW REID, as a 'Pennsylvania Dutchman.' At least she was quoting what her mother said of the man's background. He died the same year my grandmother was born - 1868. Imagine my surprise when I first learned that he was born in TN and not PA. I tried, without success to make the census tabulator's TN look like a PN, but it just wasn't so. In the nearly 60 years since, I have never been able to learn anything more about him other than that he was born in TN in 1803. For some strange reason I have never looked into PA records to try to find him. Is the name REID possibly a Dutch name? If anyone has crossed his path in Pennsylvania, I would be grateful to hear of it. Respectfully Harold, Mississippi
