    James Reed, s/o Joshua and Hannah Reed, b. Burlington 14 Apr 1759, m. Olive Johnson. "He died in Charlestown, of consumption, June 8, 1796."
    [Note: the last sentence appears to be intended to apply to the father James, even though it follows the listing of children. If so, it is contradicted by the probate documents. There is a death record on 8 Jun 1796 for a James Reed in Charlestown VRs, of consumption, age 32, which corresponds to a birth in 1764, so it appears to be a different James Reed.]
