Lyons) PREFACE This book is "THE FAJvIJLYJJ of Amos Reed and Annie Webb Reed, from 1776 to 1955, and the Reed Ancestry of Amos Reed. Most of the information was obtained through the friendly and helpful co-operation of the many living descendants of Amos Reed and Annie Webb Reed who have been found in nearly every state in the country. Other sources of information have been town clerks; city clerks; town and cemetery records of Woolwich and Dresden, Maine; the church records of Rev. Josiah Winship who preached in the Nequasset Congregational Church, in Woolwich, from 1765 to 1824; state bureaus of vital statistics; old family Bibles; chambers of commerce have been helpful in locating people for me; genealogies, town histories, and other papers borrowed from the Maine Historical Society; and information obtained at the New York Public Library. No claim is made that errors will not be found in this record but a great deal of expense and much time was devoted to striving for accuracy. As I received material from a family it would be typed into proper form and then sent back to those concerned for checking and for adding any information that might still be missing. They were also asked to give me the names and addresses of all people whom they thought, in any way, might be able to contribute further information. When the material was received back a second time it would be typed for the manuscript and a carbon copy sent to those concerned for a final checking. When this was returned, it would be made part of the permanent record. This book is made to high specifications as to paper, binding, printing and engravings. A book of this kind after years of work in preparation should be made to last for many generations and to have a cheaply made book published, in order to save some on the cost of the book, does not seem practicable. I have taken much interest in preparing the book which was started over five years ago; but, it has been a tremendous undertaking and I am sure that no one ever received compensation, in dollars and cents, for the years of work that are necessary to complete such a detailed record. I have written many hundreds of letters in gathering the material and at times things would move slowly, due to long waits of weeks or even months for the answers to questionnaires. However, I was fortunate in being able, finally, to make the record quite complete of the descendants of Amos Reed and Annie Webb Reed and with a biographical sketch on nearly every family. In 1953 I published a similar book entitled-"Capt. Samuel Reed and Mary Winship Reed and All of Their Descendants to January 1, 1953." Capt. Samuel Reed was a brother of Amos Reed. ( Capt. Samuel and Mary Winship Reed were my great-great-grandparents). In 1954 I published another, similar book, entitled, "Phebe (Reed) Trott and John Trott and All of Their Descendants to January 1, 1954." Phebe Reed was a sister of Amos Reed and Captain Samuel Reed. In each of these three books the female lines have been completed as well as the male lines and I have seen but few genealogies in which the female lines were carried forward beyond a generation or two. Amos Reed, Captain Samuel Reed, and Phebe Reed, were all great-great-grandchildren of William Reed and Mabel Kendall Reed who came to America, in 1635, on board the ship, "Defense," and settled in Woburn, Massachusetts. William Reed was descended from British nobility and when he died in 1656, he left one of the largest estates in the New England Colonies, at that time. See the following two books for information on this Reed line: "History of the Reed Family in Europe and Ameri­ ca," by J. W. Reed; "Colonial Families of the United States of America," by George Mackenzie. WORRALL DUMONT PRESCOTT New Rochelle, New York February 1956. FIRST GENERATION Amos Reed, son of Jonathan Reed and Keziah Converse Reed. Baptized, Dec. 30, 1753, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Died, Apr. 19, 1847, Dresden, Maine. age, 94 per cemetery records. Married, Annie Webb, Jan. 18, 1776, Woolwich, Maine. Annie Webb, daug. of Samuel and Sarah Lincoln Webb. Born, 1755. Died, Feb. 21, 1841, Dresden, Maine. age, 86 per cemetery records. Both buried Reed-Perkins Cemetery, River Road, South Dresden, Maine. They lived in South Dresden, Maine, on the River Road, near the Dresden-Woolwich town line. Their children: Amos, Jr., Fanny, Mary, Converse. Amos owned and operated a farm and cleared land for additional farming acreage. In the History of Dresden, by Charles E. Allen, is the following: "Amos Reed came from Woolwich to Dresden, Maine, by spotted trees and lived in a log-house where Henry Gray's barn now stands" (This written, as of, about 1900 ). Jonathan Reed, father of Amos Reed, acquired several thousand acres of land along the Kennebec River, in Lincoln and Kennebec Counties, in Maine, and when Jonathan died, in 1803, this land was equally divided among his eight living children and the heirs of his son Joel Reed, who had died, in 1794. (For a complete record of how this land was divided and the part awarded to Amos Reed see the book, "Captain Samuel Reed and Mary Winship Reed" pub. by Worrall D. Prescott, in 1953). The ancestry of Jonathan Reed and Keziah Converse Reed may be found in another section of this book. This book picks up Amos Reed and Annie Webb Reed where Jacob W. Reed leaves them in his book: "History of the Reed Family" pub. in 1861, (page 65). ********** Samuel Webb, father of Annie Webb Reed, died Aug. 27, 1773, l 2 AMOS REED AND ANNIE WEBB REED Woolwich, Maine. His estate was settled Intestate and the records are on file at the Probate Court for Lincoln County, Wiscasset, Maine. There is also a Will on file at the court that was prepared and signed by Samuel Webb but which was never officially recorded. A copy of this unrecorded Will follows : In the Name of God, Amen. I, Samuel Webb, of Woolwich, In the County of Lincoln, Tailor, being very sick and weak in body but of Perfect Mind and Memory, calling to mind mortality of my body, knowing it is appointed for men once to die, do make this my last Will & Testament; revoking all former Wills & Testaments whenever or howsoever made by me. I give & commit my Soul into the hands of God, who gave it. And for my Body, I recommend it to the Earth, to be buried in a decent and Christian-like manner. And as for my Worldly Estate, I give, devise, and dispose of in the following manner. IMPRIMIS.

I also appoint & constitute Sarah my dearly beloved Wife my only & Sole Executrix, of this my last Will & Testa­ ment, which I declare to be my last, revoking all former Wills &c. And as for my well beloved Children, I pray God to be their portion; I think it proper and prudent not to give them any of my Estate, because I have so little, their Mother being old, Stands in need of the Whole I leave. In Witness Whereof, I hereunto Set my hand and Seal this twenty-third day of August one thousand seven hundred and seventy-three. Samuel Webb. (Seal) Signed and Sealed by the above named Samuel Webb, in the presence of us the Subscribers: Joseph Lancaster; Elihu Lan.: caster; John Carlton. ********** A notation recorded at the Probate Court for Lincoln County, Wiscasset, Maine, in connection with the above Will, reads : "Sarah Webb adm'x, Nov. 27, 1778-(II,n6) John Carlton, AMOS REED AND ANNIE WEBB REED 3 and Joel Reed, both of Woolwich, surites.

  • The Tale of the Cat by JACKSON SELLERS
    The Tale of the Cat By JACKSON SELLERS Published in The Tin Can Sailor, October 2006 In the final year of the Pacific War, an admiral fondly nicknamed a Fletcher-class destroyer, a pioneer picket in a dangerous Fast Carrier Task Force tactic. And then an entire destroyer squadron adopted the newly christened destroyer’s “Tomcat” nickname as its fighting symbol. The USS Colahan (DD-658) was that original “Tomcat,” the first to paint the image of an angry cat on each side of her forward stack. The Colahan’s art- work was duplicated aboard other Fletchers in Destroyer Squadron 53 — the Uhlmann, the Halsey Powell, the Benham, the Cushing, the Stockham, the Twining, the Wedderburn and the Yarnall. For the rest of the war, DesRon 53 war- ships steamed as the “Tomcat Squadron,” and they carried their stack markings proudly into Tokyo Bay for Japan’s surrender. The Colahan acquired her “Tomcat” nickname during picket service under Vice Admiral John S. McCain, who twice took command of the fleet’s Fast Carrier Task Force, both times relieving Vice Admiral Marc Mitscher. It was Admiral McCain himself, grandfather of the U.S. sena- tor from Arizona, who bestowed the nick- name on this frontline destroyer. McCain first relieved Mitscher on 30 October 1944, just after the Leyte Gulf battles. Two months earlier, following the Mariana campaign, Admiral William Halsey assumed command of the fleet, taking over from Admiral Raymond Spruance. The Fifth Fleet became the Third, and Carrier Task Force 58 became Task Force 38. In general, Mitscher was Spruance’s carrier task force commander and McCain was Halsey’s, but Mitscher hung on under Halsey through the initial strikes on the Philippines, while McCain, then commander of a task group, Courtesy of Henry S.

  • The Battles of Hampton Roads – March 8 & 9, 1862 !Anna Gibson Holloway, the Mariners’ Museum
    The Battles of Hampton Roads – March 8 & 9, 1862 !Anna Gibson Holloway, The Mariners’ Museum March 8, 1862 The same storm that nearly sank the Monitor on her trip south had kept the CSS Virginia in port as well. It was not until the morning of March 8, 1862 that the weather appeared acceptable for taking the Confederate ironclad out into Hampton Roads. With workmen still aboard, the commanding officer, Franklin Buchanan, ordered his crew to ready the ersatz vessel for a cruise. Most believed that this would be a shake-down (test) cruise, but Buchanan had confided in his officers that he intended to take the vessel directly into battle. As the crew cast off the mooring lines, the workmen, who had been installing the fore and aft gunport shutters leapt to the dock. The Virginia was underway. Those observing her departure kept eerily silent, recalled some of the crew years later. As the Virginia neared Craney Island, commander Franklin Buchanan reportedly said, “Sailors, in a few minutes you will have the long looked for opportunity of showing your devotion to our cause. Remember that you are about to strike for your country and your homes. The Confederacy expects every man to do his duty. Beat to quarters!” Then he reminded them, “The whole world is watching you today.”1 Privately, Buchanan must have had mixed feelings. Like many others in this war he would soon be opening fire upon his own flesh and blood. His brother Thomas McKean Buchanan was the Paymaster on board the USS Congress. 1 H.
