[S217] Robert Sellar, The History of the County of Huntingdon and the seignoiries of Chateauguay and Beauharnois from their first settlement to the year 1838 and revised to the 1900's by Robert Sellar. (Huntingdon, QB: The Huntingdon Gleaner Inc., 1888), Pg. 51. Reed squatted on lot 38 in 1810 or 1811, and it is probable about that time, a small sawmill was pu up at the mouth of Beaver creek.
   Pg 52. A short time before he did so, an American built a small sawmill on the Hinchinbrook, and was thus the founder of Athelstan. From that place the road followed pretty nearly its present cours to nigh the frontier, where a blazed track branched off, leading eastward, and which led, by many crooks and turns, to Russeltown and Hemingford. On this road there were several settlers. The first was William Reed, already mentioned as living near Ste. Martine, and who afterwards moved up to lot 32, N. Geo. When he came to undwerstand the nature of the seigniorial tenure and would have to pay rent, determined to have land of his own, and in 1807 he moved to the first concession of Hinchinbrook and settled on the Burnbrae farm (lot 25). His departure was regretted by the settlers of the Chateaugay settlement on account of losig the society of his wife, a clever and very eccentric woman, who spent a good deal of her time in visiting, made welcome at every house, for she supplied the place of a newspaper and had an inexhaustible flow of caustic and humorous small talk, which she varied by songs. Her visits she generally made on the back of a bull, whose horns were ornamented with ribbons, and on which she even made trips to Montreal. She was, despite her birth, a loyal British subject. It is related that she fearlessly visited relatives in Vermont durig the war. On her way back, finding no canoe wherewith to cross the Richelieu to the Canadian side she was not to be baffled. Presently the British sentry saw somethig white waving on the opposite shore, and taking it to bew a flag of trucereported, when the guard turned out, and a boat sent off, to find Mother reed standing along, and chuckling at the success of her ruse.

James Wright said: When I was a boy, she came in late one evening when we were all in bed, and told my father she had made a song on the war. He asked to hear it, when she replied he would have to get up. He retorted he could listen as well in bed. We boys, who had risen on hearing her come in, sat beside her at the glowing chimney-nook, and she began, snapping her toothless jaws, to bawl out her ballad, of which I do not remember a word, but it amused us highly.

Turner was a shiftless, drunken Englishman and she was, when she married him, of the mature age of 72!
