Andrew Reid (1751–1837)
Andrew Reid, the Rockbridge County, Virginia, clerk of court for more than fifty years, was born on 2 February 1751 in Amherst. In 1797 he purchased Mulberry Hill, a brick manor house in Lexington that would become one of the notable residences of the region. Reid bequeathed the home to his son Samuel McDowell Reid, who also succeeded him as Rockbridge County clerk of court in 1831.
