The Find a grave James Commodore Reed Tree has a lot of misteps... I'm working on building a primary documented tree. The wrinkle is I found Solomen Reed Sr. will and the kid list doesn't match the find a grave tree totally. I've got Matthias (Matt) who was in Home Guard and 31st Mo Infantry (EMM I think) and Solomon Jr.; slogging through the others including David Reed, Mahala Kepper, Polly Parsons, Nancy Mulkey, Elizabeth Reed, Fielding Reed, and Marion Reed.

I found the point of confusion I think and it doesn't help at this point but does make things more interesting.
Fielding Reed above married Virginia Caroline Stotts, he died in 1864. She remarried a William W Reed, (Co A 6th MO Cav) he was the son of one James Solomon Reed married to Rosa Fitzhugh. Both Solomon Reed Sr above and James Solomon Reed lived in Pettis Co MO. They are very much different families but in Find a Grave and other Internet trees they are conflated/intermingled and just wrong. I still haven't definitely found Jim Commodore Reed in either tree.
