Kathy,
'Reed' is my husband's name and his family originated in New York and New Jersey with no ties to Michigan. I'm sorry we didn't connect.

Have you tried searching census records for Michigan for your Reed? I am doing research on my Michigan family (names as posted), but will keep your Reed in mind as I do my work and will keep your email handy should I run across anything for you.

Happy hunting - it's quite a game!
Jan
