General Notes: Husband - Samuel Reed

---

Shortly prior to the American Revolution there immigrated to Pennsylvania from the north of Ireland two brothers, Samuel and Archibald Reed, founders of their line in western Pennsylvania. They made settlement near Erie, Pennsylvania, and acquired title to a vast extent of land lying in Erie, Crawford, Mercer, Lawrence, and Beaver counties, which they soon afterward disposed of to purchasers of small farms. After selling his large landed holdings, Samuel Reed moved to Allegheny County, later taking up his residence in Washington County, where he died. He was the father of a large family.
