Mordecai Redd was almost certanly the son of Thomas Redd of Caroline County, Virginia, who died there in 1754. He spent much of his life in Spottsylvania, County Virginia, where he married Agatha Minor, daughter of Thomas Minor and Alice Thomas. He is mentioned in the will of his father-in-law, Thomas Minor in 1776. He spent several years in Fredrick County, Virginia, and came to what is now Woodford County, Kentucky before the formation of that county. He had a number of land grants in Jefferson Coounty, Kentucky, and one in Woodford County, Kentucky. William E Railey in his history of Woodford County, Kentucky states that he was a Revolutionary solider, but I can find no proof. His land warrents were treasury warrants, not military warrants. His brother-in-law John Major was a Revolutionary solider, as was his brother-in-law Thomas Minor, the latter being a Colonel. A further research might prove his service. Mordecai Redd'd will was filed in Woodford County, Kentucky, in 1807. His grandson Mordecai Redd Bullock was born there in 1807.
