Sorry Baggy have to give you a Yellow Card on the reply there.
My family name is not misspelled like that (&(^#@#&#%{%)&!@#(*^!_$*( ex-senator from Nevada.
My easiest traced Reed progenitor George was a POW in the Revolutionary War, bayoneted in the leg, paroled, and then went back to fight again - born in VA and served in NC.
I think the different spellings actually have to do with which side of the Scot/English border the lineage came from as most were situated along the line - unless they came out of Germany - which is a whole other thing.
Unintended as it was - this is why we have yellow cards before Big Red comes out. ;-p
Ooopsie daisy. Sometimes my fingers have a mind of their own. I'd be totally insulted too if somebody called me after Harry Reid.
I deserve to be shot, for sure.

Side note trivia:
There was this big gangly guy in our high school group.
Check out his name. It was DELBERT PARD REED. Did you hear me? As if Delbert wasn't bad enough, they tossed in frikkin PARD just to finish him off.
He was from Oklahoma, and we have Okie jokes here in Cali. We let him survive cause his sister was hot.
Life of Bagster tale of the day.
