Alma: My father John R. Reed was born in Lincoln County in 1898. His father was William Sidney Reed, whose father was James Carroll Reed. James Carroll Reed was born in North Carolina, moved to Williamson County, and died in Lincoln County in 1897. We believe, but no definite proof yet, that James Carroll Reed's father was John Reed of Williamson County, Tn. who married Lavinia Williams. This John Reed moved to Lincoln County and is thought to be buried in Lincoln County. My mother was Nellie Lee Irvin who was born in Williamson County, Tn. and was the daughter of Thomas Dudley Irvin. The line goes Thomas Dudley, Jessee Iverson, Andrew, and Christopher Irvin, Jr., Christopher Irvin, Sr. Hope we can make a connection. Joyce (Reed) Cleveland Punta Gorda, Florida

Dortha: My gr grandmother was Louisa Caroline McAfee. Louisa was born in 1833 and died in 1921. Louisa's parents were Jessee McAfee and Eliza McRee. Louisa was married to James Carroll Reed. Joyce Cleveland
Joyce, The reason I asked about the MCAFEE name: I have in my data base Gaylon M SAWYERS married to Sarah E WAKEFIELD, January 7, 1855, Lincoln Co., TX. They left soon after their wedding and moved to TX, stopping first in Ellis Co.TX, where their first child was born. The Sawyers family stayed in Ellis Co about one year, then moved on into Hill Co., TX. (Their first child, Elizabeth A Sawyers was born December, 1857, in Ellis Co., TX.)She married Will Taylor McAfee in 1876. On the McAfee children I have they were born in TX and the year born. Do you have anything on this Elizabeth and Will McAfee?
