I think Linda wanted to cover the list on this so I'm going to forward
it. I know I've come across your family before, Linda. I've done some
work on census records on Reeds in Franklin County. Let me dig around
and see if there's something that'll help. Been meaning to post these
for awhile anyway.

I think that somehow we must be related, I am trying to locate the
family of
Wallace Reed, b. July 31, 1827 and died Nov 12, 1855. His wife's name
was
Catherine(don't know the last name) Wallace is buried in the Old
Methodist
Cemetery, Williamson Road, St. Thomas, Pa. He is buried in grave plot
with
children, David and Laura. Also buried in same grave is M. Jennie Reed,

(inscription says wife of Peter Reed, b Nov 29, 1834, died Jan 23, 1892.

Wallace and Catherine also had a son Cyrus Taylor Reed (my husbands
great
grandfather) 1850 Census, Franklin County, Pa, wallace was a teacher
age 25,
Catherine his wife age 20, Cyrus age 9 months. They lived with a family

Bernard Keefer 33, wife Catherine 22, their children Ann Keefer 2, Sarah

Keefer 1, Charles Keefer 2 months, and Julian Keefer. Does anyone have
help
find out who Catherine was and also the parents of Wallace. Hope to
make a
connection. Thanks. Linda
