Ebenezer Reed was first buried in Oak Lawn Cemetery, the first cemetery for the town of Olean which consisted of burials made prior to 1900. As the area became heavily residential, the decision was made to move the graves to the newer Mount View Cemetery. In 2010 I traveled to Olean and visted Mount View Cemetery. In speaking with the caretaker, we were shown the area where the graves, moved from Oak Lawn, were placed. Unfortunately we were unable to find it, however some wonderful folks did the job for us and they have our ongoing gratitude.
Ebenezer enlisted as a private in the Revolutionary War with the Connecticut Troops, a part of the time under Captain Bell and Colonel Sillman. He was placed on the Pension roll from Cattaraugus County October 3, 1832 for his service in the Revolutionary War.
Ebenezer was twice married, his first wife being Hannah Jones. They had a large number of children, one of which, was his daughter Esther Reed born March 7, 1794 in Connecticut, who married John Grover. They were parents of 10 children before Esther's death, January 31, 1828 . The ninth child was Etta Esther Grover, who married George Washington Reynolds, my husband's ggrandfather.
Ebenezer, along with his family, came to Olean about 1811, and along with his oldest son Isaac, are recorded as having purchased a tract of land at the confluence of the Allegany River and Olean Creek from Major Adam Hoops in December, 1812. He opened one of the first taverns in Olean and later erected a boathouse, making rafts for sale to the emigrants who arrived overland seeking transportation down the river to Pittsburgh and the West. It was know as "Old Boat House".
His second wife was Polly Dickinson. A daughter by this marriage, Caroline Reed, was born February 18, 1823 in Olean. She married Eli Stone in 1855, and in 1865 they moved to South Park, Washington. She resided in the West until her death, January 20, 1923, just a few days short of her hundredth birthday.
