Herbert Reid, in his book, "The Reids of Kittochside, Part II," published in 1945 in Glasgow, asserted that "A family of ten [children] were born to William Reid and Mary Drew, eight in Glasgow, before they emigrated. [He relates information about children John Reid, Ann Hamilton Reid, and Elizabeth Fairlie Reid, then writes] It is strange that nothing seems to be known of the other offspring of William Reid, viz., James Drew Reid, William Reid, Agnes Reid, and Robert Reid."
All ten children are noted on Herbert Reid's "Table T" on page 20.

Michael Reid Delahunt (2010): I speculate that several of William Reid's children remained in Scotland instead of emigrating with their parents.
