John was born in 1724. He was first married on 11 May 1749 to Meriam Talbot, but she died in December 1749. He married (2nd) on 27 March 1752, Dighton, Mass., to Mary Perry.
He passed away in 1776.[1] He is said to have served as a private in Captain Briggs' Company, Colonel Freeman's Regiment of Massachusetts. Note: the John Reed who served at Lake Champlain was apparently a different John Reed.

He may have actually died in 1786. The John Reed who died in 1776 is perhaps a different John Reed, so the 1776 death date often given is perhaps incorrect.
