Hi Sharon
Yes C F Reed/Reid is listed in the 1860 census in Smith co Tx.His wife Mary Russell Reid was later in Wood co but I am not sure when whe went to Wood co.Con F Reid enlisted in the civil war and died in 1862 of pneumonia at Camp Douglas Illinois.
He was 26 years old when he enlisted and showed he was born in Al but so far I have not found who his parents were. Am told that he had a brother named William.I have found a William H Reid that was in the same infantry the 7th of Tx Inf but a different co. William was in Co K and Con was in Co F.
I am not sure if Con stood for something else like Conrad or Connally ????????
Hope that we can connect as I feel that because he died so young that it is possible that is why no one else has anything on him.
