Missing Reids in KY
The published histories/genealogies of the Reid family in Kentucky appear to consistently have one major error, in that Susannah is listed as one of the 7 children born to John W. and Jensy (Murrell) Reid.This information may have been taken from a book (Histories and Genealogies of the Families of Miller, Woods, Harris…) published in 1907 by W. H. Miller, who lists Susannah as a child of John W. & Jensy Reid.I have recently received some records from my mother-in-law that show this child was not a female named Susannah, but rather a male named Samuel.Records aside, she should know, as Samuel was her grandfather.There was a Susanna born to the earlier Samuel (b. 27 June 1754) and his wife Sute (Woods) Ried, but this Susanna died in childhood (b. 18 Sept. 1785, d. 10 Nov. 1786).Here is what I have:
John W. Reid (b. 25 Oct. 1783, d. 3 Oct. 1861) m. Jensy Murrell (b. 6 Oct 1787, d. 15 Sept. 1850).They had 7 children:
Amanda Reid m. Louis R. McMurtry
James Reid m. Mary Jane Hays
Eliza J. Reid m. George Washington Lee
John M. Reid m. Bettie Hays
Samuel Reid m. America E. Bailey
Sallie Reid m. Dr. F.S. Read
William Reid m. Ann Weatherford
Amanda Reid m. Louis R. McMurtry
James Reid m. Mary Jane Hays
Eliza J. Reid m. George Washington Lee
John M. Reid m. Bettie Hays
