I have some photos of a reed family house taken in 2000. I had went back to visit farm where i had grown up and this house was close to it and walked out to see if it was still standing. Last i had been there was in 83 and i wondered what place looked like now. I am not sure who lived there or when ( looked long abandoned in early 80's ) but i was told that place belonged to reed family can email them upon request

I am VERY interested in knowing about the Reed Home and if anyone might know its exact location and the identity of the people in it.

I descend from the Reed Family from Harrison County and Barbour County.

Unfortunately, the home burned down several years ago. Some of the foundation and chimney is still visible (as of 2007), although it is mostly overgrown. I think it would be neat for someone to rebuild it someday, but obviously that is unlikely.

The location is near Arden at coordinates 39.21721326970817, -80.00330197735674 at the corner of Arden Rd (County Route 6) and Laurel Creek Rd (County Route 12) in Barbour County.

The identities are as follows:

Top Balcony: Lucy Virginia Reed, James Lee Reed, Isadora Reed
Lower Balcony: Nancy Jane Lillard Reed, James Harrison Reed, Hampton Homer Reed
In Front: Ida Lillard Reed, Unknown
In Back: Unknown, Unknown

Sherry, who are your Reed ancestors?
