I believe I have disputed a previous theory, my Nathan REED b 1815,
may have been the third brother of Harrison and Sanford REED--
The 1840 Census, Montgomery Co.,Ohio shows a Nathan REED and Sanford REED,
age 20-30, who are probably brothers.
But, my Nathan REED (age26) is actually on the 1840 census
for Adams, Musingham Co., OH, where he married Harriet
BARCLAY in 1835 and lived until 1853 ! (then migrated to Cicero, Tipton
Co., IN)
And now, I am still searching for the ancestors of my
Nathan S. REED,
-b abt 1814 VA, d aft 1880 probably Rice Co., Morristown, MN
spouse-Harriet BARCLAY
-b abt 1815 OH (Mother is probably Nancy BARCLAY--shown with family on
1850 census)
Children--
Melinda REED b abt 1836, m. Mahlon BAILEY (brother of Eli Anderson Bailey)
Amanda REED, b abt 1829, m. Eli Anderson BAILEY (brother of Mahlon Bailey)
Mary E. REED, b abt 1840, m. Martin PEA (died Civil War)
Norris REED, b abt 1842, m Mary E. Unknown
Achsah REED (female), b abt 1847
Frances REED, b abt 1849, m. Daniel/Danville SALLEY
Nathan, Jr REED, b abt 1852, m. Lizzie Unknown
Therby REED(female), b abt 1856
