(National Intelligencer, 26 Nov., 6 Dec. 1828, trans. by K. Torp) REED, Gen. Philip Another Revolutionary Patriot and Soldier Gone - It has become our melancholy duty to announce the lamented death of another distinguished defender of his country. The brave and gallant Gen. PHILIP REED is no more. He died suddenly on Monday night, at Huntingfield, his residence, in Kent county, Maryland. Gen. Reed, distinguished himself in many hard fought battles during the ever memorable war of the Revolution. At a later period when Great Britain sent her powerful fleets and armies, to spread war and desolation along our seaboard, this venerable patriot once more, cheerfully obeyed the voice of his country, and rallying around his standard the brave and patriotic yeomanry of his native county, at the famous battle of Caulk's Field, he met and conquered Sir Peter Parker, leaving him dead on the field. Gen. Reed always enjoyed in an eminent degree the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens; was frequently honored with some of the most important and dignified offices within their gift, both in the general and state governments, all of which he filled in manor highly honorable to himself and useful to his country. The death of such a man is a loss to the nation. [Buried in Christ Church Cemetery, Worton, MD] ["Republican Star", 17 Nov 1829 - Submitted by Rita Bergendahl] View more Gen.
