Research Notes

• It is unlikely that Reed-8834 (Joshuah Reed) married Elizabeth Underwood given that the marriage occurred on 30 December 1767 at Woburn.^[2] The first wife of Joshua Reed, Hannah (Proctor) Reed, did not die until 5 August 1774 at Woburn. Furthermore, the Joshua Reed affiliated with this marriage record shows birth and death years of 1742-1780. For these reasons, Elizabeth Underwood was detached from Reed-8834.
