Samuel Reed.
His father came to America from Ireland about the year 1763, and settled in New Jersey. He was married to Rebecca Minor about the year 1772. They had one only child named Samuel, our subject. Samuel, the father, died a short time after the birth of his son, and the widow married Robert Taylor. Taylor and his wife raised a large family. Our subject was born April 2nd, 1773. At the age of twenty-three he married Elizabeth Burr, of Baltimore, January 26th. 1797. They had one child, Anna. His wife, Elizabeth Burr-Reed, died soon after the birth of her child. Samuel Reed moved to Virginia, where he met and married Rebecca Lucas, on November 5th, 1799, at Shepherdstown. They came to Ohio in 1803, and settled first in Scioto County, but afterwards moved to Pike county. He was a carpenter by trade, but in Ohio never followed it. He was a farmer.
He had ten children by his second wife — of these, five lived to maturity and married; one of the sons was William Reed, the father of Samuel Reed, the Banker, of Portsmouth, Ohio. Our subject stood very high in his neighborhood as a citizen and business man. He was in 1804 appointed Associate Judge of Scioto County, vice Thomas Sweeny,
resigned. He was elected the same fall and served till 1810. He was Associate Judge of Pike County from January 28th, 1817, to August 27th, 1835, and again from June 28th, 1842, until February 28th, 1849. Rebecca Lucas-Reed died, and he married Mary Hicks, November nth, 1821. He was seventy-eight years old when he married Susanna Jones, March 30th, 1851. Judge Reed was a very strong temperance man. It was the custom, when he went to Piketon to furnish whiskey to the men helping to harvest the grain. Judge
Reed said he would not give whiskey to the men. His neighbors said he could get no men to work for him if he did not. He said he would let the grain rot in the field before he would give them whiskey. So all his neighbors who were temperance men came to his rescue and harvested his grain for him, and thus the custom of furnishing whiskey
was broken up in that vicinity. He was a strong Presbyterian. He built the Presbyterian Church in Piketon. He died in 1852 and is buried in the old cemetery at Piketon.
