    A few notes regarding the Bible and Linda Harmon’s e-mail:

  •         Rebecca is called Jemson on another page; is called Simpson in death record of daughter Annie; is called Dorothy Rebecca >Gemson in e-mail from Linda Harmon, 30 Aug 1999
  •         John Allen Reed, son of Allen & Rebecca,  is called John Addison Reed  by Linda Harmon
  •         Allen Reed, son of Thomas and Rosetta Reed, is first called "Allen Reed" in the Bible and then "John C (?) Allen Reed"  later on.
  •         Harvey Reed's birth is 18 May 1883 in Bible, 18 Mar 1880 in L. Harmon's list
  •         Linda lists 6 children of Allen and (Dorothy) Rebecca Gemson/Jenson?Jemson.  The Bible lists 13 children.

     

    We have looked only at the Reeds of Harmon's email, and then just superficially.   We are puzzled by the references to "his wife."  Below are the citations:

  •         Allen Reed was married to Rebecca Jenson, his wife March 6, 1870
  •         Rebecca Reed a wife of Allen Reed.  she died February 13 1929
  •         John C Allen Reed (can't tell if it is meant to be letter C or a careless pen mark) was married to Rebecca Jemson  his wife March 6  1870
  •         Rebecca his wife was bornd May 21, 1872  (this may be a transcription error:  May 21, 1872 is the birth date of Rosey Reed)
