General Notes: Husband - Joseph Reed

---

He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, came to Westmoreland County in 1798 with his parents, and in 1814 settled New Salem, building on lot No. 25. He was the only original purchaser of a lot in the town who owned it, or any of them, at his death. He was the first cabinet-maker in the place, which business, with that of undertaking, he carried on for over half a century, and he buried fifteen hundred and sixty-nine persons. On April 23, 1821, he bought two shares in the Pittsburgh and New Alexandria Turnpike Road Company and was for many years one of the managers of this then noted turnpike company.
