Will J. Stephens, Perry Tp, Fayette Co, Pa (P.O. Perryopolis, Pa RFD) Nov 24,  
1924.        Mrs Stephens took me out to the kitchen & introduced me to her  
mother, the widow of William Patterson, & daughter of John Reed who said she  
was born Dec 25, 1840, & said that her grandfather (ie father of Rebecca 
Reed)  
was Peter Reed who came to Fayette Co, Pa (or Westnd) from Lancaster Co, Pa,  
as she had often heard her father state. She could not, at the moment, recall  
the christian or family name of his wife, her grandmother, but if she could  
later recall it, Mrs Stephens would send it to me.  
Mr Stephens is assessor of Perry Tp & was away from home, attending to the  
duties of his office.  I filled out a blank option for his 100 A in the Smith  
Creek block of coal & explained it to his wife & left with her to bring to 
his  
attention.  She spoke most kindly of Hiram Rankin & his wife who had been  
their nearest neighbors on the Milton Hewitt farm just back of them & after  
leaving, I recalled that I recommended Hiram to go buy that farm.
