  2 PEDIGREE OF REED. Compiled from Reed's History of the Reed Family, pp. 445-6.

"John Reed, from Cornwall, Eng., born in 1633, had been a subaltern in Cromwell's army, and a soldier from the age of sixteen. On the restoration of Charles II., he fled to this country, and settled first in Providence, and married a Miss Derby. He moved to Rye, Westchester Co., N.Y., in 1684, and remained there three or four years. He then moved to Norwalk, Conn., on Five Mile River, at a place called Reed's Farms; and his name is found upon the records of Norwalk in 1687. He died in Norwalk, in the ninety-eighth year of his age, in 1730, and was interred in a tomb on his own farm."
