    1. James B. Reid d. poss. bef. January 14, 1873, s/o William & Mary Reid

    3. My great-great-grandmother Sarah Ann (Wood) Dempsey, a widow, married James B. Reid, a widower, in Fayette County, West Virginia in 1872. He was the son of William and Mary Reid. Is it possible that he died soon after the marriage as Sarah is seen marrying again less than 7 weeks later? Or did the marriage end in divorce or annulment? Sarah Ann Wood was born bef. 1830 in Mt. Cove, Fayette County, (West) Virginia, and died 1 April 1887 in Mt. Cove District, Fayette County, West Virginia, daughter of Elijah Wood and Rachel Honaker. She married (1) William A. Dempsey ca. 1845 in Fayette County, (West) Virginia. He was born ca. 1822 in Virginia, and died ca. 1867. She married (2) James B. Reid 27 November 1872 in Fayette County, West Virginia, son of William Reid and Mary Unknown. He was born in Scotland, and died Unknown. She married (3) John M. Fox Jr. 14 January 1873 in Fayette County, West Virginia, son of John Fox and Lucinda Matthews. He was born 1813 in Greenbrier County, (West) Virginia, and died 13 January 1896. I would appreciate any information on James B. Reid (some contacts list him as REED). He is not listed on the index of the 1860 census of Fayette County and I have no idea if he may be listed in 1870. Thank you, Cathy
