Good a.m.!! We indeed have a link. Thomas Fleming Reed was the brother of John PENN Reed. Thomas married the sister of my g-g-grandmother. Meoma "Oma" Nancy Dover and Francis Ann Elizabeth Dover was Oma's sister. I have census records on John PENN Reed's family. They were from Madison County, MO. I'll be more than happy to share what I have, but I keep this info on my computer at home. Will contact you tonight or tomorrow and send what I have. I also have a letter written by (or "for") Jessie Dover, brother of Oma and Francis Ann that gives the names of all his siblings. I can mail you a copy of that if you want it. Look forward to hearing from you again.
