Traces back from Frances Cecilia Reed, through her father Frederick Wilcox Reed to Reed ancestors in America and England.
The English section traces the family back to the 7th century, highlighting their deep connections to English history. The Reeds held prominent positions such as sheriffs, Members of Parliament, and landowners. The text emphasizes their ties to the Thames Valley, with notable figures like Thomas Reade of Abingdon, who benefited from the Dissolution of the Monasteries. However, CRM left a note of caution written after this section was completed, calling into question the branch of the Reed surname in England.
The American section focuses on William Reade, who immigrated to Massachusetts in 1635. His son Ralph and grandson Joseph continued the family line in America, with Joseph's son James Reed becoming a Brigadier General in the American Revolution. The document offers detailed accounts of James Reed's military service in both the French and Indian Wars and the American Revolution. Overall, the file provides a comprehensive overview of the Reed family's history, highlighting their significant roles and contributions in both England and America.
