General Notes: Husband - Robert Reed

---

He was of Scotch ancestry and born probably about 1730. At the age of 18 or 20 years he migrated with many others from the north of Ireland, Donegal, where it is said "they eat potatoes skins and all," to the Cumberland valley of Pennsylvania.
The five sons and three daughters all seem to have been born there and before the parents moved to Fort Ligonier in Westmoreland County.
