(Jody Gray) Anne Reid remains a mystery. So far (9/6/2017), Even after adding ‘possible’ birth and death information (listed below), as research tools.
I gave her a birth date of about 1802, based on her being at least 17 years old when Euphemia, her first known child, was born in 1819. I gave her location as Berwick, based on the fact that area is where Scotland Records show her children were born.
I gave her a death date of before 1837, based on the fact that she is not listed on the 1850 Michigan Census, only son Peter is listed with Robert Cockburn. I have found no passenger list for Robert Cockburn but the 1900 Michigan Census lists daughter, Mary Ann, Arrival 1837 -I assume Robert would have immigrated around the same time (she would have been a child, age 9).

The only Ancestry ‘hint’: Scotland Records, Anne Reid spouse Robert Cockburn.
Michigan Death Records:
Mary (Cockburn) Weymouth: Father, Robert Coburn. Mother, Anna Reid.
Margaret (Cockburn) Rankin: Father, Robert Cocklum. Mother, Anna Reed.
Mary Ann named her first daughter, Anne Reid Weymouth. Margaret named her third daughter Annie Rankin.

*http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/read/2725/ Genealogy.com forum - RE: Brianus De Rede to Remember Read (2011) I descend from this line also. We descend down through the House of Wessex and the Kings of Kent. This may help explain: The Reeds are numerous from the fact that they are descended from a clan or a nation and not from an individual. Though they have taken their origin from Aschana; the great grandson of Noah, they have had an opportunity of becoming a numerous people… As the lines of England and Scotland were constantly changing according to the valor and strength of the parties, the Reeds became mixed up with both nations… They are connected with the royal family of England long before the time of William the Conqueror. There was Wihtred King of Kent in the 7th century; Ethelred or Read the Good, King of England in 866; Alfred or Reed the Shrewd in 71; Eldred or Reed the Elder in 946;... The Reeds were of Celtic origin and the most powerful nobleman were of Saxon blood. Much jealousy existed between the two races. Edward the Confessor, son of Ethelred, being aware that his lineal descendants did not possess the energy and power to hold the crown against Saxon nobles, made a compact with his cousin, the Duke of Normandy, by which William was to have the crown at his decease. Harold, the son of Earl Godwin, represented Saxon stock and was placed on the throne by that interest. William came over from France to carry out the provisions of the compact and Harold in behalf of the nobles met him and was slain… The Reeds were among the reigning princes of Northumberland, Kent, Wessex, and Mercia, and they seem to have been of the same blood and political alliances existed between them.”
(Jody Gray) interesting, to me, that the early historians and “genealogists” (composers of ‘Pedigree’ family lineage charts) tried to trace the origins of the family back as far as the Bible -one of the means used by early kings, to establish ‘Divine’ heritage as the source (justification) of their authority ‘to rule’. The Catholic Church, in establishing itself as the ‘Canon’ (first) church of Christ (see, entry below)
*http://www.catholic.org/pope/ Popes of the Roman Catholic Church. According to Catholic tradition, Jesus founded the papacy in the first century, when he chose St. Peter, the leader of the apostles, to be his earthly representative. “Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church,” he states in chapter 16 of Matthew. “I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” Those words, which now circle the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, serve as the biblical mandate for the papacy. All popes are considered symbolic descendants of Peter and are thought to hold “Peter’s Chair”

Jedburgh Abbey, Cemetery notes: now the ruins of an Augustinian abbey established in 1118 to house the foundation of canons by Prince David before he became King. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary about 1153, the year before David’s death, and the patronage, and fidelity, was passed to William the Lion, Alexander III, to Edward I of England and back to Robert I of Scotland and David II. Massive destruction occurred in 1410 and 1416 by Richard de the Earl of Warwick, then set afire by Henry Howard, the Earl of Surrey in 1523 with more significant damage incurred by Edward Seymour, the Earl of Hertford in 1544.

One is descriptive, from the Old Scots and Old English reid meaning “red” and describing someone with red hair or a ruddy complexion. The other is locational, from the Old English ried meaning a clearing and describing someone who lived in a woodland clearing. There are also various place-names called Reed, Read or Rede with different derivation.
The Reid spelling is mainly Scottish. Reid numbers are also high in Northern Ireland and in Canada, reflecting probable Scottish Immigration there. Read is the main spelling in America.
Select Reed/Reid/Read Resources on The Internet.
England. The Reed name, common in various parts of England, is in particular a Northumberland name, probably derived from Redesdale. Brianus de Rede was recorded as living in Morpeth in 1139 and from him came descendants in Morpeth (Thomas Rede was recorded there in 1384) as well as possible elsewhere in England.
The Border Reeds of Troughend in Redesdale were one of the reiver families and date from the 1400’s and possibly earlier. Parcy Reed, commemorated in song, was the last of these Reeds in the late 1590’s (although the name did continue in the area). After his murder his ghost was said to haunt Redesdale. Later, the following ballad appeared on a Selkirkshire gravestone: “Here lies Tam Reid, who was chokit to died, wi/ taking a feed, o’ butter and breed, wi’ ovremuckle speed, when he had nae need, but just for greed.”
The Read and Reade names, meanwhile, seem to have been strongest in south and eastern England.
The Reades in Berkshire were probably related to an earlier John Rede, born in Buckinghamshire in 1331, and the Redes who held the manor of Boarstall there in the next century. Found in Berkshire from the 1450’s the Reades acquired Barton Court at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries [1536-1541] by [Henry VIII of England], and held it until the Civil War [1642-1651] when the manor was destroyed by Parliamentary forces. They were later to be found at Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire. Charles Reade the Victorian writer was a descendant of these Reades and narrated the family history in his memoirs.
Reades, while less numerous than Reads, were concentrated more in the county of Cheshire. The Reades of Blackwood Hill in Horton parish date from the 17th century. From the Reades of Baddiley came from George Reade, the cotton and silk manufacturer of Congleton in the early 1800’s.
Scotland. Reid is the main spelling in Scotland.
Some of the early Reids came from Aberdeenshire. “Red” was found as a surname there as early as 1317. Among these Reids have been:
Scots Reids who migrated to Ulster often became Reeds
America. Early Reads in New England were William Read from Kent and Thomas Read from Hertfordshire, both of whom came with Winthrop’s party in 1630. Many of their descendants ended up in Maine, those of William at Windham and those of Thomas at Freeport. William Reade of the Reades of Brocket Hall settled in Woburn, MA in 1635.
John Reed from Cornwall was a Parliamentary officer during the Civil War [1642-1651] who, after the Restoration of the King [Charles II], decided to leave England for America. He settled first in Rhode Island and later in Norwalk, CT. He died on his homestead there in 1730 at the grand old age of 97. A descendant, Moses Read of Salisbury, was a Loyalist who took his family across the border into Ontario in 1784.
John Reid meanwhile departed Aberdeen for New Jersey in 1683, prospered as a surveyor, and was an early settler in Freehold, Monmouth county. His son John was a tavern keeper there and his descendants have lived at the Reid Homestead near Englishtown since the Revolutionary War. Sarah Tabitha Reid’s diary of daily life Monmouth county in the years after the Civil War has recently been discovered. The Reid sod farm can be found in Freehold today.
The Read family of Delaware was a prominent political family in the 18th and 19th century in Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The first of this line was Colonel John Read from a well-to-do Berkshire family who came to America in the 1720’s and was one of the founders of Charlestown, Maryland. His son George was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and US Senator for Delaware.
Reed, however, is the most common variant of the name in America. The Reed name was adopted by some Pennsylvanian German families in the 1700’s, most notably John Reed (Johannes Ried), a Hessian mercenary and British army deserter who in 1799 made the first gold discovery in America. The Reed Gold Mine is today an historic site in Cabamus county, North Carolina.
