William B. Reed (b. 1801-1810)(1) married Lucinda M. Gay on April 22, 1830, before the Presbyterian congregation of St. Louis, St. Louis Co., Missouri (2). The 1830 census shows him living in the Lower Ward in St. Louis with 2 white female teens and one white female 40-49 years old. He died between 1833 and 1841.
William B. Reed was the son of Lewis Reed and Elizabeth (Marts) Reed who moved from Philadelphia to Henderson, Henderson Co., Kentucky, in 1807. His brother Rev. Lewis A. Reed (1812-99) later moved to New Orleans. "The Reids who immigrated to America from Wales were Quakers, and came over to America with William Penn and settled in Philidelphia, PA in 1682."(ref., The Dickinson Family of Glasgow, Kentucky (2005), edited by LaVece Ganter Hughes, p.151).

William B. Reed was a native of Pennsylvania (3) and married Lucinda Mary Gay (2)(4), a native of New York (3)(5)(6)(7) and had one son, Sylvanus Reed (5).
William B. Reed died before 1842, when his widow, Lucinda Mary Reed, remarried on Friday, 8 APR 1842 in Fayette Co., TX, to Samuel Alexander Roberts, who had just completed his term as Secretary of State of the Republic of Texas under M. B. Lamar (4). They had one daughter who grew to adulthood. Lucinda Mary (Gay) Reed-Roberts (frequently called "Mary") died in 1865 and S. A. Roberts died in 1872. Their graves were marked as of 1955-1965 in Inglish Cemetery when Floy Crandall Hodge surveyed the cemetery for her book "Fannin County Cemetery Records" (1971).
Sylvanus Reed married Emma Reid and had seven children. (For years some researchers speculated that his father's name was Sylvanus, others thought Sylvester.)
Sylvanus Reed is shown on the following census records:
1850 - 18-year-old Sylvanus Reed lived with his mother and stepfather Samuel A. Roberts in Bonham, Fannin Co., TX.
1860 - 24-year-old Sylvanus Reed lived on Cactus Hill Ranch in Wise County. When the ranch owners died (Mrs. Hunt in 1861 and William Hudson Hunt 1864), Sylvanus Reed helped to raise the children, Lansing Hunt (1850-1887), Kate Hunt-Craddock (1852-1944), and Belle Hunt-Shortridge (1857- 1893), poet laureate of Texas. According to one later article, Belle Hunt Shortridge was his niece.
1870 - 35-year-old Sylvanus Reed was back in Fannin Co., TX (census page 2, household 16/family 16) with his wife and children, along with the Hunt children Lansing, Kate (later Mrs. William E. Craddock), and Belle.
In 1880, 46-year-old Sylvanus Reed was still in Fannin Co., TX
In 1891 Belle Hunt Shortridge published her first novel, a semi-autobiographical novel entitled HELD IN TRUST, so full of family history of the Hunt, Reed and Roberts families, according to one family member, that "it is difficult to tell where history stops and fiction begins." Many of the family names are used (i.e., Sylvanus Reid was "Sylvanus Roland,"cousin Walsingham Roberts from Mobile, Alabama, was "Walsingham Rosser," etc.)
One Sylvanus Reed, printer, a native of Boston, Mass., died in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1820 (ref., Boston Daily Advertiser and Repertory, 20 June 1820; [Boston] New-England Palladium, 23 June 1820, p.1). Whether William B. Reed and son Sylvanus Reed of Texas were related to this Sylvanus Reed is unknown.
There was a Sylvanus Reed in Burlington, Iowa, in 1837 (ref., Burlington Gazette, 7,13 & 27 Jan 1838).
And another Sylvanus Reed from New York booked passage to Liverpool, England, in 1837 (ref., Baltimore American and Commercial Daily Advertiser 4 June 1847, p.1).
