  Reed, Joseph (27 Aug
Reed, Joseph (27 Aug. 1741-5 Mar. 1785), lawyer, soldier, and statesman, was born in Trenton, New Jersey, the son of Andrew Reed, a minor officeholder and merchant, and Theodosia Bowes.
Reed sought to persuade British authorities not to employ force against the colonies and asserted that traditional loyalties would produce a favorable colonial response should their grievances be adequately redressed.
Reed frequently was unhappy that Republicans appeared to put more energy into bringing down the state government than in defeating the British and that they opposed policies and practices (such as price controls on bread and other necessities) he deemed in the interest of the general population.
