Reid list and Mary, My mother in law is a Reid from MS. We are stumped on the roots before early 1800's. There is a possibility that this Reid family started in VA and migrated through SC to MS. Family stories tie the family to a Jackson or Jesse REID in mid 1750's and a earlier George REID (REED or READ). Known family includes Elizabeth ? married ? REID. Elizabeth was born about 1805. Husband may have had initials A. W. Children include J. W., E. W., G. I., E. S., Thomas B., Jackson, Elizabeth, Sarah and William. Elizabeth born about 1826 married A. S. Lenoir. E. S. is probably Enoch S. born about 1828 in MS. Thomas B. was born abt 1832 and died Mar 1863. E. W. is Elbert W. born abt 1834 and married Elizabeth Mullins. Jackson born about 1834 possibly married Martha Mullins. Sarah born abt 1836 married a Gilbert, possible William B. Gilbert. William born about 1841, unknown after 1850. G. I. (or GJ) and J. W. mentioned in Thomas B. REID will possibly older siblings but unknown except in will of brother. Mother Elizabeth is not mentioned in Thomas' probate in 1864. This generation of REID was born in MS and lived mostly in Lawrence, Marion, Copiah, Claiborne and poss. Jefferson counties of MS. If these names ring any bells, or tie to any families on list, would love to hear from you. We need help. Darlene Armstrong [email protected] Burney, CA
