I am researching my father's REED line without much luck. The only good thing is that my g/grandfather, Samuel Arthur REED is buried here, along with his wife Emma Jones REED. He was b in Richmond, VA 1853 and I think I have found him on USCT file. I have only the above info on Samuel REED along with info on his 3 children, one of which is my grandfather (Ralph REED), another whose descendants I found last September . The other, Gladys REED Merchant is quite elusive but I have defintely found her on SSdeath Index. Any help you can give me or can you tell me what you have on your REED line? Thanks ever so much and God bless,

I am trying to find information on gr-gr-gr grandparents and descendents. James Reed and Harriet Moore Reed were last heard of on The Trail of Tears near Grand Chain, Illinois (Pulaski County) where they left my gr-gr grandmother Rachel Reed Washington to be cared for by another family. I found Rachel living in Grand Chain, Pulaski County, Illinois in the household of Wesley and Nancy Webb.

I was told by my gr-aunt that Grandma Rachel’s family lived in Denver, Colorado. According to the obituary of My great-great uncle, Benjamin WASHINGTON, he was born January 30, 1882 in Pueblo, Colorado. His parents were Rachel REED and Willis WASHINGTON. I am in search of a connection to my gr-gr-gr maternal grandparents and any living descendants based upon these clues. I believe Rachel was possibly visiting her parents when she gave birth to Ben.

Rachel REED was born May 26, 1849 in either Clinton County Missouri or Kentucky. She was the daughter of James REED and Harriett MOORE. James and Harriett migrated to Colorado by way of the Trail of Tears.

I would very much like to unite with family members, so my 92 year old grandmother can get to know this side of our family. If you can help, please email me at debdavis@lycos.com, or send postal mail to Deborah Davis, P.O. Box 68, Venice, IL 62090.

I would love to hear from anyone with information. You can find more on my families as well as links to other researchers at http://www.debdavis.org/.

I am looking for information on James REED and Harriet MOORE. They were the parents of Rachel THOMPSON born May 26, 1874 in Missouri or Kentucky . Rachel lived in Grand Chain, Pulaski County , Illinois from 1880 until around the mid 1920's. She had a son Johnnie Thompson born about 1879. He was born in Lord County Kentucky according to his death record. Another of Rachel's son' was Benjamin WASHINGTON born January 30, 1882 in Pueblo , Colorado. Ben's birth is the only clue I have for other family member's location.
