Hi Larry,
I don't suppose she could be the Lydia (Bartlett) Reed, wife of David H. Reed, widowed
and remarried to a brother John Reed, could she. See paragraph on Amiziah Reed of Milford
Twp. in the 1882 History of LaGrange County Indiana, if you have not already read it. Good
luck, Jack

I am trying to research my family and I seem to have hit a stumbling block when
it comes to finding the maiden name of an ancestor of mine. John Reed was
married to a Lydia (unknown) and living in Milford Township between 1840 and
1860. They should have been married around 1840-43. They had (at the 1850
census) three children, Jeditha, Meritt and Almina/Elmina at the 1850 census.
John apparently passed on before 1860. Lydia was born in Pennsylvania. I have
newspaper accounts of Meritt attending a Reed reunion in 1918 in Kendallville,
Ind. Could anyone assist me in finding out what Lydia's maiden name was?
Thanks in advance
Larry Gray
