Henry Reed played this tune twice but had no name for it. (A more complete version was recorded on November 26, 1966, as AFS 13037a01.) He seemed to have a little trouble sorting out its melodic features from those of some similar tunes in G, conflating it in both performances with melodies he had previously played. A related tune in his repertory, cast in the key of D, has the same first strain but an entirely different second strain; see "Quince Dillion's High-D Reel."
