The only record of marriage found of the latter being his first marriage, 1730. to Desire (Tuttle) Tod, unless he was married before this marriage of 1730. Ann. who married Eliakim Warren, 1738. could not have been his daughter. She is, however, cred- ited with being through this line a descendant of the Reed family. Hall says, Ann, dau. of Thos. Reed, died young, but, John, brother of Thos., had a daughter Ann of whom no records can be found, and the two may have been confused. 14. GENERATION III. Descent: John (i), Thomas (2), Elias (3).
