REED, MACKINTOSH
I'm looking for any information on the family of Abner Clark Reed, who lived in Old Wyoming, Nebraska, from about 1856 to 1864.
Caroline Lorinda (MacKintosh) Reed (Abner's wife) died in Old Wyoming in 1863 and four of her children were born there.
I'd very much like to find the site of the town and of the cemetery if there was one.

LUDDINGTON, LUDINGTON
A Hayon Z. Luddington appears in the 1860 census for Otoe County, NE. Does anyone know of this man's history, offspring, whereabouts, etc?
I am a Canadian and a retired teacher, and am collecting the lineage of Luddington/Ludington families. My records show the family goes back to the 1200s in England, came to Massachusetts in the 1600s, and have since spread all over North America.
Any information on this family would be welcome.
