Sally Reid born about 1810 was a widow with two sons in the 1860 census of the Meherrin District of Brunswick Co, Va. Her younger son was born in 1846, so her husband must have died between 1846-1860. The marriage certificate of one son named his father as Wally Reid. The name Wallace appeared several more times in succeeding generations, so Wally may have been Wallace. His two sons were Littleberry Reid and John W (Wilson or William) Reid. In every succeeding generation there has been a John W. Reid.
