Beers History of Darke Co OH/Reed, Swisher, Grier, Finkbone,

98-12-10
What Beers History of Darke County has to say
about Allen Reed on pages 414 and 415:

It is talking about early settlers of Wayne Twp. on pg 414.
"Allen Reed, who later became a merchant and engaged in business at
Versailles, came to Wayne (Twp) in 1821."

On page 415, it is talking about "the little settlement."  It might refer
to the settlement of Webster, discussed in the previous paragraph.  "The
little settlement now began to receive accessions.  In the following year 
(1818), Henry Swisher and Aaron Grier came to this township...  Soon 
following these were Isaac Finkbone...and Aaron Grier who came in 1818.  
Within two years, it had received Allen Reed, who located in Section 19,
and a family of Holes, who filled a space in the forest."
