Thanks, Steve, yes, 1885 is his date of birth. And he lived on Bank Street.
I am not sure of the 1882 JD Reed. My lateral work is not too strong, meaning it could be one of his grandsons in another line - so far I have found 2 other sons besides my greatgreat grandfather, Lloyd Thomas Reed.
I am glad you spelled out the name because there is a Portsmouth family of JD Reeds but it is Jefferson Davis Reed; J Davis Reed IV is a judge down there and recently clarified the difference to me (and sunkmy hopes).

Katie, I have lived in Norfolk almost all my life. I have never heard of Bank, Virginia, but we do have a Bank Street in Norfolk. Is 1885 his death year, because I found the following:
One Joshua D. Reed, Civil War, Norfolk, VA, enlisted 19 Apr 1861, Norfolk, mustered out 7 Mar 1862 Norfolk, VA, Co. H 12th VA Inf. Reg.
Another says he enlisted 19 Apr 1861 Norfolk County, Ferguson's Co., 6th Inf. Reg.
Joshua David Reed was born 16 Oct 1882 and is 35 years of age, on 12 Sep 1918 he lived at 523 River Ave., Norfolk VA, he worked as a brickyard superintendent at E.W. Face & Son, West Olney Rd., nearest relative was Francis Rozelia[sp] Reed at the same address as his. He was of medium height slender build brown eyes and dark complexion.

I have a FamilySearch document that says my grandfather's greatgrandfather, Joshua David Reed, died on April 22, 1885 in Bank, Virginia. I don't know where that is. I do know that he died in Norfolk and I am assuming the city of, he is buried in Elmwood, but has anyone heard of a section called "Bank"??
