1887 (unnamed) Newspaper Article from Tippecanoe County.
The venerable James Reed, of New Albany, who is now making his home with his brother, David Reed, of Octagon, is very low with lung troubles. These brothers are the only ones left of a family of twelve children. Their father, William Reed, moved from Virginia to Kentucky in 1794, and from Kentucky to Indiana in 1800. James was born, April 1802 and David in March, 1804, making them respectively 85 and 83 years of age.
When young they spent part of their time at Fort Reed, and saw more Indians than whites in their boyhood days. Their brother, Joseph Reed, was noted as the “Boy Indian Figher and Hunter”.
Joseph and David were born near the Ohio river, in Clarke county, Indiana. James was a ship carpenter and was on the last boat that came from New Orleans to Louisville, proceeding the opening of hostilities in 1861. David moved from Clarke county, Indiana to the farm on which he now lives, near Octagon, in 1850
Note: James Reed, born 12 Apr 1802, is the son of William and Sarah Coombs Reed. See Family Record of William and Sarah Coombs Reed.
