Misc. Notes
From Kaye Van Fleet's Family Tree Maker Book A LABOR OF LOVE:
Major John Reid, in the 1600s, was induced by King James I of England to colonize Northern Ireland. Lands there had been forfeited to the British Crown on the failure of the Irish Rebellion, instigated by Phillip II, King of Spain. Thus the Reids left their Scottish homeland and ventured out into Ireland.
