Reason Means/ Gossage
A shot in the dark.I am looking for the parents of Reason Means born 1830 in Brooke County, WV.(According to his obit and biography).I have searched the county census and have not come up with any Means families.Since his name is Reason Means and he named his first son John Reason I belkieve there may be a Reason connection.He migrated to McLean County, IL where there were some other Means families.He married Mary Young there and migrated to Missouri about 1860.
There may, also, be a Gossage connection.Any leads will be appreciated.
