+1. John H. Reed (3 Apr 1799/1819, Vergennes, Addison Co, VT-1904, Adams Co, IN)
m. 29 Sep 1841, in Cleveland, OH, Catherine SPANGLER (17 May 1824, Cleveland, OH-7 Feb 1849, Cleveland, OH), daughter of Samuel SPANGLER and Catharine NEFF
m. 19 Apr 1849, Cleveland, OH, Matilda SPANGLER (30 Sep 1829, Cleveland, OH-22 Jun 1909, Root Twp, Adams Co,IN), another daughter of Samuel Spangler and Catharine NEFF
Both John's age and place of birth are mysteries. The 1850 Census of Cuyahoga Co, OH, lists his age as 30 (b. 1820), but his Civil War enlistment papers lists his age as 44 (b. 1819) and his place of birth as Virginia, VT (The closest VT town is Vergennes, Addison Co) The 1870 Census of Cuyahoga Co lists his age as 67 (b. 1803), while the Adams Co, IN Census of 1880 says he was 76 (b. 1804). The 1890 Census of Adams Co lists his age as 101 (b. 1799). An Adams Co. newspaper gives his DOB as 3 Apr 1799, Plattsburg, VT, but Plattsburg in Clinton Co, NY. The 1900 census says he was born in VT, with his father from Mass. and his mother born in France. He moved to Cleveland, OH, "as a young man". John served in Co. H, 124th Ohio Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War. He moved his family to Adams Co, IN, around 1874, and is buried in the Reynolds Cemetary in Adams Co.
