My husband's REED ancestor is the husband of Dolly Letson in the North of Ireland. He died unsure where and she raised several kids in Maryland, including William Reed. He married Jane Mitchell; Lockhaven, Clinton County, PA. William Reed built a fort near Lockhaven before the Rev. War.
My only REED known is a George W REED born about 1826 in TN (per census records found on him listing that) - using same census records, we know he was a newspaper man, and I have found accounts of his beginning newspapers within 2 cities, but we do not know anything before this time frame, or after. His wife shows up widowed by 1880 with another child, so he either died, or he ran off prior to all this - they are my 2nd great grandparents. I have not found a record of their marriage yet either, could be KY, KS, IN or MO
I have the family in Rockport, MO during 1860 and New Orleans LA in 1870. If anyone has a George W REED I would appreciate the information, as I try to find out where this line came from.
