    MOTHER OF CIVIL WAR HERO AXEL HAYFORD REED

    A BIOGRAPHY OF HULDAH BISBEE REED, by Larry Overmire (3rd great grandson), Aug. 2008:

    Huldah Bisbee was born on the Bisbee homestead in Sumner, Oxford County, Maine, on Nov. 11, 1803, the youngest of ten children of Revolutionary War veteran Lt. Elisha Bisbee and his wife Mary "Molly" Pettingell.

    Huldah's mother died in 1811 when she was only 8 years old. Her father being unable to properly care for her, she was sent to live with a Mr. Waterman, a blacksmith of Buckfield, Maine, but she was unhappy there and moved back home for a short while. Then she was sent to live with her sister Sally and her husband Gad Hayford. They were also taking care of Huldah's sister Thursea. Huldah lived with the Hayfords until she married.

    Huldah's son Axel H. Reed in his genealogy quoted an Aunt Martha Bisbee's recollections of Huldah:

    "She was a pretty girl and woman and of a mild and lively disposition, always ready to sacrifice her own happiness for that of others. She had a very red head and curly when young, but at maturity turned an auburn."

    At the age of 16, on July 8, 1820, on her family homestead, Huldah married 21-year-old Sampson (III) Read (later spelled Reed), the son of Sampson Read Jr. and Jane Bradford Ellis. Huldah gave birth to 8 children: Elisha Bisbee, Lewis Bradford, Emily Mandeville, Lydia Phelps, Huldah Bisbee, Sampson Jr., Axel Hayford, and Augustus Stevens (died in childhood).

    Initially, Sampson and Huldah moved to the 'Mason Farm' near Bear Mountain where their first child Elisha was born." After his brother Bradford died, Sampson and Huldah moved into the Read family homestead to care for his parents. Sampson made many improvements on the buildings and property until it became the center of attraction for the whole township.

    Sampson was a prominent farmer and cattle drover, a representative in the Maine legislature, who served one term on the governor's council.

    Huldah died of consumption on July 11, 1842, at the relatively young age of 38. She was buried in the Read family lot in the Starboard Hill Cemetery in Hartford (aka The Meeting House Hill Cemetery). Her tombstone says, "First my heart & then my hand
    Till death did part the wedding band."

    Family/Spouse: Reed, Sampson. Sampson was born on 14 Mar 1799 in Hartford, Oxford Co., ME; died on 06 Apr 1877 in Hartford, Oxford Co., ME; was buried in Hartford, Oxford Co., ME. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
