HISTORICAL NOTES

Tradition told by the Reid family is that Nancy married young as Marquis (Marcus) D Lafayette Reid had been widowed for several years prior to their marriage, and was undoubtedly grateful to again be married. Records indicate that MDL and Nancy lived in the Armuchee area (near the Duke
residence) from the time they were married until about 1877, when they moved to Utah.

While living in Armuchee, Marquis encountered LDS [Mormon]
missionaries who later converted the family. Their conversion to the Mormon faith was likely what resulted in their eventual move to Utah
