General Notes: Husband - William Reed


In early life he learned the trade of a cabinet maker. After marriage he and his wife made their first home in Cross Creek village. In 1836 they moved to his father's farm in Washington County, Pennsylvania, whence in 1840 they went to Allegheny County, finally returning to Washington County in 1844. In 1855, by pur-chase, he became owner of his father's farm "Pensacola." In 1859 he deeded 103 acres of his farm to his son, James M. K. Reed, in consider-ation of $4,000, and the remainder was left to John C. Reed, who resided on the old home-stead.
