General Notes: Husband - James Dunlap Reid
This family descends from a line of Irish ancestors long seated in and around Belfast. The first of this line to come to the United States was James Dunlap Reid, who in 1840 emigrated to America, and settled in western Pennsylvania. He was engaged in mercantile life, being a man of good education and some means. The family home was in Allegheny County and West Newton, Westmoreland County.
Of Mr. Reid's blood relations who have made their mark in America, we may name among others Capt. Samuel C. Reid, the distinguished naval officer, "who, in 1814, when in command of the privateer 'Gen. Armstrong,' fought with a British fleet the most brilliant naval engagement to be found on record." (Quoted from a biographical notice of Capt. Reid in the Washington Union of April 30, 1858.) It was Capt. Reid who, in 1818, at the complimentary request of a committee of Congress, designed the national flag. The first brigadier-general of the war of the Revolution was a Reid of the same stock.
General Notes: Wife - Mary Henry
The ardent patriot, John McAuley, an officer on Gen. Washington's staff, was a relative of Mrs. Reid on her mother's side, a great-uncle.
