My 3rd great grandparents are Nathaniel Reed and Minerva Douglas.  I'm unable to figure out his parents.  A true brickwall.  (I do know that Minvera's father was from CT and moved to VT after Rev. War and started family there, and then moved to MI also).  I suspect the Reeds came from MA or CT and then moved to VT after the Rev. War.  And son Nathaniel married Minivera and they then took their growing family to Kalamazoo Co,, Michigan.   They had 9 children.

All Reeds with scottish ancestery and New England,Supposely I have 3 brothers that landed in New York in and around the 16th and 17th century,,don`t have any more infor. but maybe someone of the Reeds have simillar background. According to my great aunt they landed in New York then later split up one in the New England States and one went out west and the other N.B. Canada, now as far as names they run as James,Arthur,William,John,Robert, these names run in the families for years. If anyone has simillar names in the past on Reeds please let me know  (Bill)

I'm looking for ancestry for Stephen Reed (1762-1814) and his wife Polly Ackley (1770-1821).  They lived in Massena, St. Lawrence, NY.  Oral tradition says he "came up from New York City" and that he was of Scots descent and a well educated family.  He had two brothers named John (a judge) and Gilbert.  Stephen was a "lister" in the town of Paiges (Pages) Corner, VT, and he and his family moved to Massena in 1801.  He built a sawmill and a grist mill.  Any additional information will be greatly appreciated, and I'll be happy to share what I have.

My Reeds are also from the Revolutionary War coming from Ireland. Is anyone here descended from David Reed and Elizabeth Messersmith from the Missouri area?

My Reed lineage goes back to John Reed, a Revolutionary soldier, and as a result I'm a member of the DAR, as was my great Grandmother, Florence Mahala (REED) RESH. Any connections?

Hi, I am interested in connecting with those around the world with ancestors decending from the surname REED from Stithians in Cornwall. My GGG Grandparents where buried in St Day. GGG Grandfather Joseph 1794 was born in Stithians to Nicholas Reed and Catherine Oppy. I have made contact in Australia with many decendants so I am hoping for an overseas decendant.

many thanks Susan .

Hello everyone! My great-great grandfather is Luman Hauley Reed. His father left for the California Gold Rush, and was murdered my the time he got to Auraria, Kansas Territory (now Denver, Colorado). Luman married twice: once to Isabella Beecroft, and the other (from which marriage I descend) to Margaret Joanna McPherson. Looking forward to learning if any of are lines are common!
