Stanmore Judson Reed & Rachel Joanna Axson

Stanmore Judson Reed & Rachel Joanna Axson about 1890

Stanmore Judson Reed was a son of James William Reed (1827-1901) and Anna Rebecca Tyler (1828-1882).  He was born on 6 Sep 1862 and died on 13 Apr 1933, living all his life in Orangeburg County, SC.

In 1879, Stanmore married Rachel Joanna Axson, who was born 2 Feb 1859, a daughter of Robert Edward Axson (1829-1869) and Mary Ann Mack (1829-1880).  Stanmore and Joanna had seven children.  She died 7 Jul 1899.

In 1890, Stanmore married Mary Rebecca Pou (12 Dec 1877 - 2 Mar 1958).  They had at least nine children that I have been able to verify.

Stanmore and Mary are buried at Riverside Cemetery in North, SC.

Rachel Joanna Axson Reed is buried at Bull Swamp Baptist Church in North, SC.


I want to express my appreciation for sharing the photos of Stanmore and Joanna to Jane Morgan Rowell, a 4-great granddaughter of Samuel and Mary Clark Reed.  Stanmore was brother to her great-grandfather Michael Joshua Reed.  Her line:
