Biography
Name: Lydia Reed
Birth Date: 19 Sep 1766
Birth Place: Dighton, Bristol Co., Massachusetts
Father Name: Loved Reed
Mother Name: Charity Phillips[1]
It is sometimes claimed that Lydia died on 18 November 1804, but that was a different Lydia Reed (who married John Jacobs). Our Lydia (Reed) Lewis was still alive in 1807 or 1808 (birth of her youngest child Horace). Unless Peleg Lewis had a second wife, it appears that Lydia was still alive during the 1820 Census.
