Sources: These data come from a file at RootsWeb WorldConnect (found by searching for Reeder King). It appears to be more or less supported by the census. Much of this info appears to be derived from a Clearfield County history (1911, p. 629). Some information is also derived from that sent by an e-mail correspondent and is of unknown accuracy.
