We have been communicating this week about them. <br /><br />The 1880 census for this Samuel does indeed list grandchildren, a nephew, and others. None of his children lived with him by that time. They had either left home or were deceased. <br /><br />To the best of my knowledge, these were the 13 children of Samuel Reed and Matilda Willis:<br />Cyrena K. Reed 1832-1893<br />Martha Jane Reed 1834-1905<br />Anna Reed 1836-1902<br />Emeline Antoinette Reed 1838-1864<br />Robert Hugh Reed 1841-1851<br />Ellen F. Reed 1842-1900<br />Elliott Reed 1844-<br />Samuel Elijah Reed 1847-<br />Adella U. Reed 1848-1876<br />Matilda Rosa Reed 1852-<br />Jerome Reed 1853-1908<br />Tullie Washington Reed 1856-1910<br />Susie Reed 1858-1860<br /><br />The Manning Files had 14 children listed. They had incorrectly listed Samuel Elijah Reed twice as Samuel Reed, Jr., and Elijah S. Reed. <br /><br />As to your question about the Celtic pronunciation of Reed, I have no knowledge of this. Can you give us more information or point us in the right direction to find more information? Or, maybe another reader may have an answer.Marilyn Reed Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036950635919518354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569782449300469598.post-28663326341891270812009-07-10T11:20:24.770-04:002009-07-10T11:20:24.770-04:00Would the difference in the Celtic pronouncation a...Would the difference in the Celtic pronouncation and the spelling in America be different.Also on the Manning Files ,the 1880 census might clarify the number of children fo Samuel. Some of the children listed are nephew,niece and grandaughter and this migght lead to the conclusation that he had 14 children.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842172740367627397noreply@blogger.com
