Rufus' middle name, Corwin, has been carried on down in Rufus' family and
written as CARWIN. This information was given to Annette (Strange) Carroll by
Carrol Reid, the the great-great grandson of James Reid through Lafayette
Wasson Reid and his son Rufus Corwin (Carwin) Reid. Annette believes that the
correct spelling is CORWIN because it is written that way in Hugh T. Reid's
Bible entries.
Through the years Annette has corresponded with Carrol and Una Belle Reid and
they have shared a lot if information with her. In Aug. 1991, Carrol Reid took
Annette to Clyde, Kansas where the Lafayette Reid family lived. Carrol and Una
Belle are friends as well as cousins. Sadly, Una Belle died Oct. 1, 1995
