Reed Cloak, eldest surviving child, down to her descendants and the descendants of the Aiken family. Electronic copies obtained by Denise Moore from cousin Wendall Auck consisted of 4 pages including a copy of the monogramed cover of the bible monogramed with Lemuel J. Reed. One single page listed births and two separate pages listed some deaths. All entries appear to be in the same handwriting, that of Elizabeth Jackson Reed. The bible did not contain the date of her death in 1885 where she left off making entries.
