REED.
The author of the History of the Reed Family, Jacob Whittemore Reed, says that " the Reeds" are descended from a clan or nation, and not from an individual, and finds, as he thinks, traces of the clan before the Christian era. In the early history of this country there are found several emigrants bearing the name. Gen. James Reed, of whose life a sketch is given in Chapter VII., and who is referred to in many other places, was descended from William Reade, of Woburn, Mass., who was the earliest emigrant of the name Reade or Reed. In the following register no particular attempt will be made to give a uniformity in spelling the name, but, as far as practicable, the form will be used that is found in the records.
