* DofS - Date of Settlement
The meaning of the phrase "Date of Settlement" is uncertain. It could refer to the year the individual "settled" on his land or when he actually owned his land. In Richard REID's case, though, neither is correct; he was born sometime around 1829!

The above includes those REIDs who (I assume) PAID to have a listing in the "Patrons' Directory" section of the Atlas. In addition, three REIDs elected (for a goodly fee, no doubt) to have their dwelling or place of business depicted in the Atlas.

home of James A. REID
"Poplar Air", the residence of James A. Reid of Summerside
"Rose Cottage", home of The Honorable Richard B. REID of Alberton
home of Richard B. REID
store of William REID
Store of William REID, St. Eleanor's, Lot 17

There are many REID properties noted in the maps of each Lot - in Lot 35, for example, Richard REID, mentioned in the above "Patron Directory", is shown as holding four pieces of property - 87 acres on Mill Cove Road (near the Corran Ban Bridge) on which his dwelling was located, and three other properties totaling 235 acres on Black River Road (including a small island in Winter Bay).

In Lot 34, Richard's brother, James REID's property consisted of two parcels, 72 acres with a dwelling on Cove Head Road, and 84 acres on Triston Road.

Patrick REID, John REID and Robert REID all held property in Lot 22 in the Hope River area.

Peter REID's land (44 acres and a dwelling) was near Brae Station in Lot 9; Michael REID had 35 acres with a house and store nearby.

Eventually a table showing all REID properties in Meacham's Atlas will be uploaded to this page. Meanwhile, check the REID MASTER FILE for 1880 Atlas information.

This is a "work in progress". Eventually I hope to have REID entries in other Atlases and Directories added to this page.
