Had a mini-break thru on my Lake Co. Indiana families. No one
ever responds on this line but here goes:

>Loren S. Stowell aged four, appears in the household of John and Rachel
>Reed of Eagle Creek Township, Lake County, in the 1860 census, indicating
>that his mother had died and that he had been placed with them. They were
>probably relatives of Loren Lorenzo's first wife, Mary Matilda Reed. It
>appears that John Reed died in the next decade, for Loren Stewart Stowell
>appears in the 1870 census as Stewart Reed, aged 14, living with his
>foster mother, Rachel Reed, who in turn was living with James and Emily
>Fuller in Cedar Creek Township. They were probably relatives of hers.

This James FULLER is James R. FULLER b. bet 1819-1821 Vinton Co.
Ohio d. ca 1884 m. Emily LAFFLER. Emily has a sister Caroline LAFFLER who
marries a Malcolm HILL. He is the son of James FULLER m. Lydia Herrick
DODGE one of the prominent early families in Lake Co. history. I descend
from James R. FULLER's elder brother Oliver FULLER who married a Sarah H.
REED. Sarah had an elder sister named Nancy REED who married Oliver's
father James late in life and had no issue with him.

Oliver FULLER & Sarah REED had a daughter Mary Ellen FULLER who
married Marcus Lafayette STOWELL s/o Loren Lorenzo STOWELL & Mary Matilda REED.

If anyone know anything about these families, especially how to
fit all these REEDs together, I sure would love to hear from you. I have
the FULLER line way back to the Immigrant generation back in colonial
Norfolk Co. Massachusetts.

The following Lake Co. Indiana connected REEDs appear related somehow:

John REED d. bet 1860-1870 m. Rachel unknown
Mary Matilda REED b. (husband was b. 1795) d.1842 m. Loren Lorenzo
STOWELL <<maybe connected to a Talcott REED of Sherman Twp. Huron
Co. Ohio?!?>
Sarah H. REED 1817-1874 m. Oliver FULLER <census says born in
Pennsylvania, they married 1835 Athens Co.Ohio>
Nancy REED m. James FULLER <his first wife was Lydia Herrick DODGE
of Hancock Co. Maine> <Nancy REED the elder sister of Sarah H.
REED, James FULLER here father of Oliver above>

If you know any of these families love to hear from you,
