I am researching the family of Jesse Reed & family lived in Rutherford Co in the early 1800s. Terry Ceballos Grand Prairie,TX "Oh, what a tangled mess you see, If you take a peek at my family tree!" http://terrysqualitygifts.com http://hairball.fws1.com/

Terry, I too am interested in the Jesse Reed family. A man by that name married into my Montgomery family in 1823 in Rutherford County Tenn. The bride was Matilda Montgomery, a sister to Martha Louisa Montgomery who was my great-great grandmother. It is certain Matilda was born in Mecklenburg Co. North Carolina and I have some evidence Jesse was born in that state also but not necessarily the same county. Both Jesse and Matilda died in Shelby County Illinois and had issue there. I am in touch with an elderly woman who is one of their great-granddaughters. She has tried to find her ancestors in Rutherford Tenn but has been unable to connect. She tells me all the Reeds in Rutherford County seem to decend from the John Nash Reed family and she has been unable to connect. Does any of this sound familiar?
