JONAH J. REED, a native of Orange County, Ind., was born August 25, 1823,
and is the only one living of a large family born to William and Ruth
(Glover) Reed.  William was born in 1779 in Pennsylvania, a son of David
and Rachel Reed, with whom he moved to Kentucky in about 1783, where he
married his wife, who was born in the Blue Grass State in 1786. In 1811 he
and wife immigrated to Orange County, Ind., which at that time was filled
with Indians and wild animals, and building a log-cabin began clearing and
farming.  In 1812 David Reed and family also came to Orange County, and
for a time lived at Maxwell's Fort to escape Indian depredations.  The
following are the children born to William and Ruth Reed:  Miranda,
Milton, Elizabeth, Rachel, Mahala, Allan, Robinson, Jonah G., Hannah and
Stephen.  Jonag G. Reed has never made his home elsewhere but in his
native township (Northwest Township).  He has served three years as County
Commissioner, twelve years as Justice of the Peace, and since 1876 has
followed merchandising at Lancaster.  December 26, 1844, he was united in
wedlock with Jane, daughter of Basil and Annie (Todd) Tegarden, who was
born May 27, 1822, in Orange County, Ind.  To them seven children have
been born, named William B., born January 19, 1846, died November 13,
1850; Henry A., born January 22, 1849; Sarh J., September 21, 1851, died
December 8, 1874; Millard C., August 10, 1859; Rachel E., June 27, 1862,
and Mary B., January 23, 1867, died November 8, 1873.  Mr. Reed is a
Republican in politics, and himself and family are among the most highly
esteemed people of the township.
