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.

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.

Wow that would be tough these days....I have another patriarch in my genealogy named Nimrod.

I know it’s a biblical name, but could you imagine someone giving their kid that one these days ... sheesh

I also have a Minyard or Miniard - which I kinda think is almost norse sounding.

Slide complete.
