Hermon & Gary-- I have a Jemima REED. I wonder if you know anything of her. She was b. c1774, m. 28 Oct 1792 inFrederick Co., VA to Thomas SHORES who was b. c1767 probably in Fairfax Co., VA, d. about 29 Dec 1818 in Hampshire. They had 2 sons I know of: James & Thomas. There was a John Reed in Frederick & Hampshire. Could he be the father of our REEDs? Donna ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hermon wrote: Jacob Reed had a mill on the s Fork. Waterpowered mill. Likely the creek made a horseshoe across which a mill-race could be built to power the mill. ================================ Was he related to Elizabeth Reed born abt. 1769, Hampshire County?
