    Notes:

    He served in the Royal Navy, and saw action on the 'glorious first of June' under Lord Howe. He applied to emigrate from 4 Oxford Court, Cannon Street, London, and offered to pay the full deposit for ten families in order to take out his own family of eight people, including his three adult sons. He subsequently applied to take out a party of ten men, before finally joining Bailie's party. In the event only two of his sons over the age of 18 emigrated. His daughter Sarah Eliza married Captain John Milbank of the Chapman in Cape Town on 22 March 1820. The Reed family separated from Bailie's party on arriving at Algoa Bay, where William Reed was granted three lots of building land and purchased a fourth. Assisted by his sons, he set up as a contractor, brick manufacturer and shipping agent, and attempted to establish a saltworks. He applied for the grant of a farm, and a loan from government for shipbuilding, but ill-health and the loss of a cargo in which he had invested heavily brought him into severe financial difficulties in 1822. He offered his unfinished 30-roomed stone house, movable property and livestock for sale with the intention of settling his debts and returning to England, but he was declared insolvent and sold up by the sequestrator in August 1823. He died at Port Elizabeth in 1827. Mrs Elizabeth Reed remarried after his death. She died in Port Elizabeth in 1868, at the age of 91. Her sons James Samuel Reed (who married Elizabeth Elliott) and George Thomas Reed (who married Maria Susanna Potgieter) both became members of the first Port Elizabeth Town Council in 1860.
