Note for: Andrew Reed, 1693 - 22 JUL 1762 Index

Individual Note: Andrew Reed founded the largest family which has lived in Boothbay. He was a man of sterling charecter, as all that can be learned attests. Four, at least of his sons were prominent in the Revolution, Andrew, David, Paul and Joseph; two John and Henry died before the war; and William was a private. Thomas, only of those living at the time shows no service record. Several grandsons were also active in the war. He has many times been mentioned as a settler under Dunbar, but there are indications this was an error, but no proof. Sarah Reed, his only daughter and youngest child was born on shipboard as they came to America, she married Samuel Adams. This puts the year of immigration at 1743. Andrew Reed was born in Antrim, Ireland, as was his wife, Jean Murray (Aunt of the Rev. John Murray). She was of Scot-Irish descent but he is said to be of English descent. The title of Colonel, which has often been applied to him, must have been obtained in Ireland, as he was too old to engage in the French Indian war and died before the Revolution. Andrew Reed built his first log house a little to the east of the Mill Cove dam, and southeasterly from the house of Capt. George Reed. He was driven from this house in 1745 by the Indians and returned in 1749. Traditions tell us that one winter while his family and the remaining settlers went westward for safety, he alone stayed in Townsend. He with his sons built a mill at the cove soon after 1749. He is said to have built the first frame house in Townsend.
