Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.reid/3759/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Joseph Reid, was the son of Sir Thomas Reid and was the father of both Nathaniel Reid (who married Elizabeth Clayton) who is widely documented online and also of William Reid (who married Jane Anderson) also documented although not as commonly as Nathaniel. Most of the trees involving Nathaniel have as at least a portion of their source, the Book "The Nathan Reids of Virginia in the March of Freedom". I recently received copies of pages from that book, primarily looking to see the sources used by the authors. Unfortunately, *all* of the facts regarding Thomas and Joseph were from a single source, namely an unpublished genealogy by Etta Margaret Wells (nee Reid). Etta was a great-granddaughter of Nathaniel and Elizabeth. Has anyone ever seen a copy of this genealogy? I really want to know what sources were used by Etta and whether they still exist.
