Surnames: Reed Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GBC.2ACI/1008 Message Board Post: Samuel Reed and William Reed owned 610 acres of land together in Botetourt Co., Virginia, on Back Creek a branch of Roanoak River adjoining the land of John Kelly, on 27 July 1797. I found a William Reed in the 1794 Botetourt Co., VA., Personal Property Tax List for the First District. Samuel Reed is in the 1794 Botetout Co., VA., Personal Property Tax for the Second District. Would like to know if Samuel Reed and William Reed are related, and how. By chance when and if they left this area did they go to TN then to KY and on to MO. Any information on these two men would be appricated.
