Remarks: Amos Reed and two of his children are buried in the Three Mile Creek cemetery in the town of Clayton. Many of the stones are gone but one says "son of Amos and Phebe". This is not correct as all his children were by his first wife, Hannah. The son John died February 23, 1878, aged 93 years and by that time his mother had been forgotten. The children of Amos and Hannah Reed are as follows:

Araha Reed b. March 18, 1783

From FAG member Catherine Reed Meza;

Thank you for your posting on my great-great-great-great (etc.) grandfather's gravesite. However, you should note that his second wife was actually Hannah Slade's sister, Thankful Slade. Amos Reed's mother was Phebe Campbell, who later married his stepfather, John Savage.
