  Marriage Notes:

Something must have happened in the marriage between Robert Reed and Anna Fast after 1850. Robert and Anna moved to Indiana where Adaline was born in 1854. Robert was enumerated in the 1860 census living in DeKalb County, Indiana with the 2 youngest children, Emily, who would have been about 13 years old, and Adaline, who would have been about 6 years old. Anna is not found in the 1860 either in Ohio, her home state of Pennsylvania, or in the new location of Indiana where Robert and 2 of the children were found.

According to the 1870 census, Anna apparently was remarried to Daniel Burlingame and they were living in DeKalb County, Indiana along with her daughter, Adaline Reed.
