      I found no Reeders on Monongalia County tax lists before 1792, but in that year the names of both SIMON REEDER and his son-in-law ROBERT GREEN appeared. The following year, 1793, ROBERT GREEN appeared on Randolph County lists. He remained there until he and his wife, ELIZABETH (REEDER) GREEN moved west to Spanish Louisiana in December 1799. SIMON REEDER did not appear on tax lists for Harrison, Monongalia, or Randolph Counties in 1793, but in 1794 both SIMON
      REEDER, SR., and Simon Reeder, Jr., were on the Randolph County lists. In 1795 only one Simon Reeder appeared as a taxable in Randolph County. This may indicate that SIMON REEDER, SR., died in late 1794 or early
