Descendants of WILLIAM DANIEL REED
Spencer B. Davis and his brother Jeremiah left Murray county Georgia shortly after the end of the civil war. (I suspect but cannot prove, that there may have been a disagreement in the family over the civil war as neither of these two served in any capacity that I can discern.) They stopped Franklin county Alabama in 1870 just long enough to make a crop then moved on to Hardin county Tennessee where misfortune of some sort befell the family. By 1878, Spencer, his wife Anna D. (Jordan) and Jeremiah were dead. The family of Spencer and Anna consisted of one son, George Washington Marion Davis, and 9 girls, most of whom were still single and living at home.
George married Mary Potts Reed there in Hardin county shortly after her mother Angeline (Frazier) Reed passed away. The Reeds were definitely "yankees" as they named their first child born after the "recent unpleasantness" Ulysses Grant Reed. Either in search of more or better land or to escape the memory of a place that took so many loved ones, the entire Davis and Reed clans moved to the Baxter and Izaard county area of Arkansas by 1880. The Reeds and George Washington Marion Davis eventually resumed their quest for more or better land in Texas in the late 1890's, settling for a while in the Hill county area of Texas before moving on west once again. The sisters of George Washington Marion Davis are the ancestors of many of the families still living in and around Mtn. Home.
