Mary (Winter) Reed was the eldest daughter and eldest child of Revolutionary War Veteran Christopher Winter and his wife Catherine (Shaeffer) Winter of Donegal Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Her father Christopher was one of the leading members of the Dutch Forks Settlement.
She married Solomon Reed who originated from Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. His death date and burial site are currently, as of 2021, not known. He may have been buried at the Odd Fellows Cemetery, as well. However, there is not record of this.
Mary had at least one son Benjamin Reed (b. 1802) with husband Solomon Reed.
Through the Federal Census Mortality Schedule of 1850-1885 Mary's death and burial date of May 4, 1860 was recorded for the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Philadelphia. These bodies were later moved and re-interred. Where Mary's remains were relocated was apparently not recorded.
Over 80,000 bodies were interred at the Odd Fellows Cemetery, in Philadelphia, over a hundred year period. The city supposedly dug up all of these bodies, in the 1950's, and relocated them to at least two other sites. This was done for building a large public housing project. However, in 2013, four caskets with bodies in them were found underneath the grounds of a school, at this location, the William Dick Elementary School built in 1954. This left many questions about how many bodies were actually relocated and how many were left behind to build over. It is Philadelphia which makes it automatically suspect!
