  2. Source:Reed, Jacob Whittemore. History of the Reed Family in Europe and America, p. 150, doesn't mention a son John in this family. Nor is his birth found in Woburn Births. However, he is named executor in his father's 1723 will. This suggests he was born bef. 1702 (to be of legal age), and hence was the oldest son.
