I found a little more info on John and Hannah Reid, listed under the misspelling "Read".In the 1870 census, they are listed as living with their son Joseph in Schley Co., GA.
Evidently they were made of pretty tough pioneer stock, because Hannah lived until 1870, and John was still living that year at the age of 87--still in Schley County.
I found a Reid cemetery in Pike County GA where several of their children are buried, but did not find them there, probably because they died in Schley County.Have not located the cemetery there.I still cannot take them back into NC to know where they came from or who their parents are.
The 1850 census lists the family name as Ried in Pike County, and as Reid in 1860.No wonder it is so hard to find them!
I'm determined to find them somehow!
