hereof.Our anceetors' names have been spelled Raid,Reide,Reed,Read,Reade:Gaston,Gasten and Gastin:Simonton,possibly Simon-
son
and

Figures in parentheses, thus(1 to 106:, as above, cite the "Sources of Information" or "Authorities" supporting the
text.which will be found listed, -numbered and lettered,- for identification

inclusive hereof).The first plan was to record a more complete list of the descendants of George Reid, I, born in Ireland, emigrated with
his parents,Alexander and Margaret(McCay)Reid, to Pa in 1745, -and to N.C. later;lived in Wilkes and died in Greene Co.,
Ga. about 1801.116),(53)(2)(h and i). As no other list of the descendants of the brothers of his father ,emigrating
together, has been found published, the reader's indulgence is asked to first list names,locate(and,in instances ) to saysomething briefly of the lives of, other REIDS who were in American Colonies early. Most of such have been found South of
Pennsylvania. Others. not yet known definitely to be of the same ancestry,but probably so, will next be listed and locat-
ed. and. lastly, the descendants of said George Reid, I, immigrant, will be enumerated.
It appears that other Raids were in the American colonies before the arrival of Alexander,I, in 1745, We have as yet
no direct proof of a degree, if any, of a relationship of Alexander, I, to Reids in America at the following places and
times: ALABAMA :FRANKLIN CO.Susan Marion Reid married. Jas. Tucker Randolph, Sept.
842.(98)(w);

in
Marion county was neutral during Civil War,
for which he was seised by Confederate troops and with Johnathan Holcombe,Jr.carried toward Atlanta,Ga.,or to internment,
but Allen escaped and returned but Holcombe was never heard from again.(35)(a).
