      1840: "James Reed, Mary Reed"

      1850: "James Reed, age 58 b. Abt. 1792 Virginia, farmer real estate owned $4000, wife Jane, age 56 b. Abt. 1794 Virginia; four children, b. Illinois [sic, Ohio?]: George W. 19 farm hand,James M.D 17, Anna 14, John P. 11. Olive Mackley age 12 b. Abt. Illinois [sic, Ohio?]; Mary Reed, age 90 b. Abt. 1760 Virginia."

      [Olive Mackley was the daughter of Nancy Reed, who died Abt. 1839 in Oak Hill, Jackson, OH, and Jesse Parker Mackley (m. 8 Jul 1833 Jackson, OH). Mackley remarried 11 Sep 1839 Isabella Faulkner, with whom he had twelve chidren.]

      1860: "James Reed, age 68 b. Abt. 1792 Virginia, farmer real estate owned $7000 other property $800, wife Jane, age 67 b. Abt. 1793; John P. age 20 b. Abt. 1840 Ohio [sic], farmer. Olive Mackley, age 21 b. Abt. 1839 Ohio [sic]."

      James Reed (b. Abt. 1792 Virginia) may be the husband of Jane Whittington (daughter of Joseph Whittington & Sarah Russell), but no evidence has been found that documents their identities and marriage. It is possible, for instance, that the wife of James Reed, "Jane Reed" was not a "Whittington."

      "Will Book "A" of Jackson County, Ohio - Names taken from index: . . . Reed, James page 428; Reed, William page 31 . . ."

      The texts of these two wills may hold the key to the relationship, if any, between James Reed and Jane Whittington. Was William Reed the brother of, or simply unrelated to, James Reed?
