Several months ago I was in contact with Judy Richie concerning the REED LANIER FAGON families in Rutherford Co. TN. Since then I have misplaced her address, but I have some new information for my line of REEDs. As a review, according to information I have Jesse REED, my ggggrandfather was born in around 1788 in VA. He married Mary Fagon and I know that they had 2 sons-Burton L. (b. abt.1824, TN) and Jessee L. (born about 1833, TN). In 1850, Jesse and Burton show up in the Marshall Co. KY census. Burton REED, my gggrandfather, married a Sarah C. JOURDAN/JORDAN in the early 1840s. I don't know where though. Then by the very early 1850s Burton and Jesse moved to Johnson Co. Illinois. Judy was interested in the middle initial of Burton L. I went to the Johnson Co. IL courthouse last month and found out that Burton L. Jr. son of the Burton born in about 1824, was also named Burton L. Reed. On the death certificate of one of Burton's sons, Burton, Jr. is listed as Lenier Reed. Also, it looks like from death records, that Jesse REED, born in abt 1833, died on February 17 of 1879 in Johnson Co. According to records, he had been there for 5 years. I know that he moved with his family to Johnson Co, IL by 1853 because he married there. After 1853, I couldn't find any info on him until now. According to the records he was sick for three days. COD is listed as total insanity. Terry Ceballos "Oh, what a tangled mess you see, If you take a peek at my family tree!" http://ceballos.freeyellow.com/ http://hairball.fws1.com/
