My gg grandfather Alexander Hamilton Reed was married to Frances Letitia Lewis. He mustered out of the Civil War in 1865 at Fort Leavenworth. I have them on the census in Kapioma Township, Atchison County in 1870 and 1880, though it appears that she was apparently called Alice in the 1880 census. Their daughter Mary was born in Valley Falls in January of 1870. I have Frances passing away in Atchison County sometime before 1885. Their kids Mary Lois, Frank and Lilly Jane were born in 70, 74 and 77 respectively. I have the signature booklet of Lilly Jane and it contains writings and signatures of friends in the Valley Falls area just prior to departing for the Oklahoma Territory in 1892. I'm just fishing for any help or direction I might get in order to find Frances. AH made the run into the Cherokee Strip in the Oklahoma Territory in 1892. Mary married Josiah Anderson Sunderland 26 JAN 1887 in Atchison County, but it looks as if she had left the area by 1891. I've looked high and low and it would mean a lot if I could find Frances (Alice) Reed's grave. I appreciate any help anyone can offer. Greg Cohrs
