About the Project
The Reed Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Reed name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Reed name.
As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Reeds), by time period (18th Century Reeds), or by topic (Reed DNA, Reed Occupations, Reed Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

REID, JOHN (1655-1723), Surveyor General of the Province of East Jersey, came from Scotland to Monmouth County, NJ. Reids continue to reside in the Middlesex and Monmouth County area. I was able to prove descent from REV WAR "Fighting John" Reid, d 1814 (why "Fighting John?" he served 1776 to 1783, to join the SAR. My great grandmother was a Reid.

I didn’t know you were the PL for this ONS. Sign me up please. I have a bunch of Reids from Georgia, Arkansas and Pennsylvania. A couple of Reeds, too.
I added you. Hope you can add your people to the group.

Hey y'all! Would love to join this project as Mary Ellen REED (b: 15 Sep 1881-12 Feb 1945) is my brick wall. She says she was born in Arkansas (prob in or around Baxter County) and died in Stillwell, Cherokee, Oklahoma. She variously lists her parents as being born in AR or IL.
DNA matches tie her ancestry to CANNON COUNTY, TN but not to one specific son or the other of JAMES HUGH REED (1784 Somerset, PA - 16 MAR 1880 Cannon County, TN) although JOHN TAYLOR REED (1825-1900) and GEORGE I REED (1826-bef 1870) are the strongest contenders. Neither wife has verified DNA ties either, as both of their mothers surnames (Cooper & Kearly) also regularly show up in my matches. (Southern endogamy?)
She apparently had a brother (maybe half), William James REED (1869-bef JUN 1901-Muskogee, OK) who married Margaret Rosa Belle BAILEY. A sister (maybe half), Milley Alice | Polly REED (Mar 1873, MO - bef 1904, Ft Gibson, Muskogee, OK) who married William Monroe BAILEY. And possibly a half sister or aunt, Marth M REED (8 OCTOBER 1892 • Joplin, Jasper, MO - 31 JUL 1991 • Irving, Dallas, TX) who married Charles Clinton CARTER.
Earliest death records on file in OK is 1908. Mary Ellen's death certificate says parents unknown.
Let me know what I need to further add, --Cheri

If you can add a sub-category, I'll try to get all my research on the site.
