About 1760 Reid married an American lady of Scots descent, Susanna Alexander, daughter of James Alexander, surveyor-gen- eral of New York and New Jersey. She owned property on Otter Creek in what is now the State of Vermont, which was added to and improved by her husband with the result that at the end of ten years Reid owned "about thirty-five thousand acres of very valu- able land" near Crown Point and had "obtained from the Gover- nor and Council of New York a warrant of survey for fifteen t
...hou- sand more," which he intended to "erect" into a manor.
In 1767 the Royal Highland Regiment left America for Ireland and Reid presumably accompanied it. In 1770 Reid retired on half-pay, intending no doubt to settle down to the enjoyment and improvement of his American estates. However, in 1772 his ten- ants were expelled by the people of Bennington "on the pretence 66 NEW YORK STATE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION.
of having- claim to that country under the Government of New Hampshire, notwithstanding- that the King in Council had, ten yeai-s before, decreed Connecticut River to be the Eastern Bound- ary of New York." In 1775 war broke out with the American colonists, and though his case finally came before the Commissioners for American Claims, the only compensation awarded him was a trifling allowance for mills he had erected and for fees he had paid for surveys.
