       The record of Joshua Reed, or Reed, of New Hampshire is given heroin as found in pension claim, S. 45097, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.

         He was allowed pension on his application executed April 17, 1818, at which time he resided in Stoddard, Cheshire County, New Hampshire. In 1920, the soldier gave his age as fifty-eight years and that his wife as the same; he did not state the date and place of his birth, nor the name of his wife. Their only daughter was living with them then, her name not shown.
