RAYMORE .- REED.
RAYMORE.
DAVID RAYMORE (or RAIMORE) paid a poll-tax in S. in 1811-1812. A Mrs. RAYMORE kept house, in those years, for a certain Joshua Willard, who lived upon the Winchester farm (as it was afterwards known), at 193. David was probably either her husband or her son, more likely a son. She is said to have had some children with her. We have failed to connect them with any known family of Raymores, and we do not find her family register. We learn that they were not highly esteemed in the community. They cannot properly be considered as a genuine Sullivan family, they were simply employed by this Mr. Willard temporarily,
REED.
I. JOHN REED.
JOHN REED owned the old William Corey or McKinzey farm, in the north part of the town for nine months in 1789. It is doubtful whether he had any family. Quite likely he was unmarried. There is no record of any marriage, birth, or death, in any such family. Reed bought the place of Wm. Corey, and sold it a few months later to John Rowe, who, shortly after, sold it to Wm. McKinzey. The latter lived here thirteen years. The house stood at 186, in the south-west corner of the junction of the old road leading past the recent residences of Charles and Wm. H. Bates with the Boynton Hill road. We have been unable to identify this John Reed with any one of that name, or to connect him with any known Reed family. In his deed from Corey and his conveyance to Rowe, he is said to be of Sullivan, but we are not aware that he had any family and he never became an actual resident of the town. We have no clue whence he came or whither he went. There were Reeds in Stoddard and other parts of the country, but we cannot connect this John with them.
