Hi, My name is Sarah Reid McMinn. I am new to the list and am looking forward meeting some of you that are researching Reid, Reed, Read, and Reade. My father was Gordon Eli Reid of Henderson Tn. His ancestors were Samuel Eli Reid (b. 1856 in Henderson Co. Tn ), James Riley Reed (b. 1817 in Randolph Co. N.C. ), William A. Reed (b. 1794 in N.C. ), John Reed ( b. c. 1764 Orange/Randolph Co.
