Member Jenny contributed the following excerpt from Genealogical and Personal Memorial of Mercer County, New Jersey, Volume 2 by Francis Bazley Lee, ed., p. 743:
Mr. Reed married Maria Clewell Varian, born in Hopewell, New Jersey, June 9, 1840, daughter of Horace D. and Sarah (Lanning) Varian, of Hopewell, Mercer county, New Jersey. The former is a son of Ichabod and Elizabeth Varian. of Ohio, and the latter is a daughter of Edward and Nancy (Bryant) Lanning. Edward Lanning served in the war of 1812. Children of Mr. and Mrs. Reed are: 1. Mercer B. 2. Miles V., resides in Trenton, New Jersey. 3. Lemuel Allen, resides in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania; married Lillian Van Ness. He was a member of and for some time commander of General James A. Garfield Camp, No. 4, at Trenton, New Jersey, and was for some time sergeant of Garfield Battery, Sons of Veterans Reserves, and was for some time corporal of National Guard of New Jersey. 4. Laura H. 5. Liscomb Blackwell, Jr., United States mail clerk on the New York & Pittsburg Railway postoffice, is a member of the Garfield Camp, No. 4, Sons of Veterans, at Trenton, New Jersey, and was for some time lieutenant of Garfield Battery, Sons of Veterans Reserves. 6. Elmer, E.
NOTE: Maria's birth date is recorded in her family Bible as 9 June 1840, as is shown by F. B. Lee above. However, her obituary on 9 June 1913 indicates that she "died yesterday" on her birthday. The death certificate does confirm the death date as 8 June. So it would appear that she really died on the eve of her 73rd birthday.
