Good morning listers! I have three questions, which I hope someone can provide insights on. First, I now believe that John Reed married Susan Culley in Westerly, RI in 1886. How can I go about locating a copy of the marriage record? Second, it also looks like Susan Culley was in Westerly with some other members of her family, such as her brother William Cully. I have found on Rootsweb that William Culley is buried in Westerly, having died in 1920. Are there any listers who are researching the Culley line? And lastly, I have also come across a Bathsheba Reed who died in Westerly back in the 1797. Does anyone have any knowledge of this Reed line? Thank you all very much! And if I can answer any questions from up in New Hampshire, do let me know! Ron Reed
