Hi Pat,
I just returned from being out of town for several days.
Thank you for the Reed migration information.
Haven't unpacked my suitcase yet, but I have printed out your wonderful and
generous
information and I will read it first thing.
Thank you so much,
Diana

> The first settlers were Absalom and Samuel Reed, two brothers, who came
from

of his

had.

Elizabeth,

Cyrus,

Survey,

who

this

been

> The next settlements that were made were by Thomas Stett, David Reed and
> Samuel Reed, in 1804. Stett was of Irish descent, and brought his wife,
Martha, a
> sister of the Reeds. He had six children, one boy and three girls being
the

Fork, on
> the line of the Centerville road. In 1851, he moved to Iowa, where he
died,
> his wife having died in Richland Township. His farm is now owned by
William
> Reed, and is second to none for fertility in the township. The Reeds,
David and
> Samuel, were of Irish descent, and sons of James Reed. They came from
Kentucky,
> and were both unmarried. David located on 100 acres of land, now in Wayne
> Township, and married Hannah Daugherty, by whom he had four children,
three sons
> and one daughter, one son, William, being the only survivor. Samuel raised
a
