MATTHEW REED and wife were members of St. Paul's Episcopal church in Norwalk, of which, at that time, the Rev. Mr. Leanuings was rector. Mr. REED was appointed Decem- ber 15, 1771, to collect the Church rates. When Norwalk was burned by the British during the revolution, Mr. Lean- nings being opposed to the patriots' cause, left the place in one of the ships of the British fleet, and probably took the church records with him, as they have never been found.
The record starts again with the report of a meeting held at the house of Thomas Belden, October 27, 1780. At that meeting MATTHEW REED was present, and was chosen one of a

committee to ascertain as to the feasibility of rebuilding the church which was destroyed by British troops, July, 1779. It is to the honor of our ancestors in this parish that, although reduced by the destruction of their property in 1799, and dis- pirited, yet they rallied in a year's time and commenced anew for the Master.
In November 30, 1780, MATTHEW REED subscribed hand- somely for the project, but few out of a long list of honored names contributed as much as he.
On Easter Monday, April 16, 1781, he was elected Vestryman and re-elected to the same office April 1, 1782. He was elected third Vestryman at Easter, 1783, and second Vestryman in 1784.

April 2, 1801, STEPHEN REED conveyed to Samuel Middle- brook all his right and title in the estate of his late father MATTHEW REED deceased.
At the same date WILLIAM REED conveyed Betsey Stone's and Anna Thatcher's rights, which he had purchased of them to the said Middlebrook.
April 7, 1801, WILLIAM REED conveyed to Samuel Middle- brook all his own right together with those of Polly Seymour and Esther Belden in the estate of their late father MATTHEW REED. In this deed the name of SALLY REED occurs.
