To anyone who can help, I have an ancestor Jonathon Augustus Reed who went by J.A. Reed. He lived in Freestone County from sometime in ca 1868 through 1879. Sometime in the year 1879, according to family he died. In 1870, he married Joanah Metcalf and by mid 1880 she was remarried to Francis W. Reynolds and living in Wise County. I am looking for anyone who may know what happened to J.A. Reed in 1879 and where he might be buried. J.A. Reed had a brother in law Samuel H. Smith and a sister Josephine Smith (wife of Samuel) and they are buried in the Cotton Gin Cemetery. I have not been able to find out anything about J.A. Reed. If there are any decendents of the Smiths still living in the area, please e-mail me Rick Reed at Finder5050@aol.com. Also, other family members were Watson Reed Sr. and his wife Penelope R. Black, and Watson Reed Jr.and his wife Isabella Sandell, James Harvey Reed and his wife Sallie Greer, Helen Reed and her husband John H. Cornish, Jane R. Reed and her husband William F. Smith, Mary T. Reed and her husband John M. Cole, Elmira S. Reed and her husband ?? Turner. Any information about these families would be appreciated. Thanks, Rick Reed
