William Reed (c. 1670-1728) was a colonial North Carolina political figure who served as President of the Governor's Council for many years, and as Acting Governor from 7 September, 1722 until the arrival of Gov. George Burrington in 15 January, 1724. == Biography == Reed was born in 1670 and he probably arrived to North Carolina from England. Reed was appointed as a Proprietor's deputy and member of the Council in 1712, keeping these occupations ''for the remainder of his life''. Reed was appointed Acting Governor of North Carolina in 7 September, 1722, keeping the charge until the arrival of Gov. George Burrington in 15 January, 1724, when Reed was appointed president of Council. Several lawsuits against Reed were made (between them, he was accused of sell ''liquor without licenses at this home'', with others men). Reed repeatedly clashed with colonial governors and even wrote an official complaint from the Council about Gov. Richard Everard's administration to King George II that was sent the day after Reed's death. He died on 1728, at his home in Pasquotank County, North Carolina. ''Reed was married twice'': The first of his wife was named Christian, with who had two sons: Christian and Joseph. His second wife was Jane, with who had a son, William.〔(NCpedia:William Reed ).
