When I checked, your James W. is listed under my John and Julia Odom Reed's children as marrying "Annah H. _____, b. Aug. 31, 1829." I checked my Tyler resource (Al Brodie's book - more on that soon), and see that your James W.'s wife Ann Rebecca Tyler has a birthdate of Aug 31, 1828. The Mannings listed two children here (Al lists 13). They are Ann Jane 1847-1849 and Henrietta 1853-1879. These two children were listed by Al as James W. & Anna Tyler Reed's (along with 11 other children)! <br /><br />In the Manning Files under Hugh, where this listing should be, it shows "James W. Reed; m. Annie Tyler." No further listing that I've found. <br /><br />Now I can see where my James sometimes is given the middle initial W. <br /><br />Good thinking!

Since I can't access that information from here in Arizona, I really appreciate your willingness to share. It has been my experience that a lot of "first person" information is not as accurate as you would expect. It is, as you say, often a case of misinformation being repeated.<br /> I was wondering, however, if the Manning Files had confused your James H. Reed with my James W. Reed. James W. is my 2g grandfather and his wife was Anna Tyler. Both would have been grandsons of Samuel and Mary Clark and their birth and death dates are almost identical. I have James H. Reed as 1825-1901 and James W. Reed as 1827-1901. It would have been easy for these men to have been mixed up by the person relating or recording information.<br /><br />HenryHenryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622544351932786543noreply@blogger.com
