James Reid was married three times.First married to Christiana Runner in 1807, by whom seven children were born.Second married to Martha Martin Cary in 1821, no issue, although James and Martha were foster parents to at least three orphaned neighbor children.Third married to Harriet Smith in 1855.James Reid lived on "Pretty Prairie" near Urbana from about 1810 until his death in 1857.He and his second wife are buried at the nearby Pisgah Church Cemetery.
James' third child, Robert Snodgrass Reid who married Jane Winn Bishop in 1833 inherited the family farm in Champaign County and remained there until the late 1800's.They moved to McLean County, Illinois where Robert died in 1892.Their fourth child was Matilda Jane Reid, born September 17, 1839, died April 20, 1923.There is no record that Matilda ever married and she died without issue.
Of the seven children of James Reid, there is none named James.
