Various records have her name as either Amy or Ann - the Cecil Family (her grandchildren) refers to her as "Amy" in their written notes.
Cecil/Reed family history records that Harriet (or Louisa) made her sister Amy, who was 10 years younger, promise to marry Thomas so she could "care for the children." Amy and Thomas Reed went on to have another 4 children.
Amy and Harriett's mother was Nancy Baltzel , a distant cousin to Ethel May Baltzell who married into the Cecil family of Uhrichsville, Ohio.
