Jonathan Reed, Jr. was a son of Jonathan Reed, Sr. and Keziah Converse Reed of Woburn, Massachusetts.
He married Joanna Call, daughter of Obadiah Call and Eleanor Call, on 15 December 1765, and they had ten known children.
In a census of Pownalborough taken 19 June 1766, Jonathan Reed was listed in the west parish (now Dresden) as head of a family of three: himself, one other male (perhaps a brother) and one female. All were over the age of sixteen. He had a one story log house, with a brick chimney and ten panes of glass. He and Joanna, married the previous December, had no children.
Jonathan Reed gave service as a Captain of the 2nd militia company during the Revolutionary War.
At the first town meeting of Dresden held after its separation from Pownalborough and incorporation as an independent town in 1794, Capt. Jonathan Reed was elected to the positions of highway surveyor and Surveyor of Lumber.
Three years after Jonathan's death, the following was recorded in Kennebec Co. Deeds, 65:523:
On 30 January 1823, "...Obadiah Reed of Pittston, Stephen Reed, David Reed, Daniel Reed, and Jacob Reid, all of Dresden, Stephen Call and Betsey Call, his wife in her right, put Isaac Reed of Pittston, merchant, as our attorney to sell 310 acres of land having come to us as heirs at law of the late Jonathan Reed of Dresden, deceased, and is now held in common by us with the said Isaac Reed..."
