Carolina. Needham Reece came with his father, John Reece, to Wayne County, 
Ind., in 1810. They located first near the present site of Richmond, then 
moved near Green's Fork, and a few years later, when Henry County was opened

where he died in 1883. John Reece came with his father to Wayne County in 
1849. They settled on section 9, New Garden Township. He was married May 27, 
1852, to Ann, daughter of Ezekiel and Mary (Mendenhall) Haisley. After his 
marriage he bought the farm where he still resides, on section 29, New Garden 
Township. He owns eighty acres of well-improved land. Mr. and Mrs. Reece have
