Wayne,
I don't have a Minnie Reed in my files, but I do know that there were at
least two Reed families in Adams Co. I am sending this on to the Adams Co
list in hopes that someone will recognize the names.
Good luck!

Your mention of John Reed in Adams County, IN caught my attention. My wives
grandmother's name was Nellie Alice Hart born 22 April 1884 to William Hart
and Minnie REED according to her marriage license. Could this be a
descendant of your John REED. Appreciate any info you may have.
