Sarah Philpott Reynolds Heirs


Name:
Cousin Marriage

Notes:

Allen Gilmer Reynolds was named by his mother, Sarah Philpott, for her brother, Allen Gilmer Philpott.

Allen Gilmer Reynolds + Martha Ann Jackson d/o Judith
Emmerson and James Samuel Jackson.

There must be s story here about Martha Ann Jackson before her marriage to Allen Gilmer Reynolds, on 24 May 1843. Their oldest son, Levi was born 5 years before their marriage. Levi C. Reynolds is shown on the 1850 Va Census with Allen & Martha. He is 12 years old and his brother, James Samuel is 6 years old. On the 1860 VA census, he appears as Chesley, still with Allen and Martha; I believe Levi is Martha's son that she named for her uncle Levi, in whose household she lived after the death of her mother, Judith Emmerson. Two of Martha's younger siblings are mentioned in the Will of Levi; who left them property provided they remained with his wife Ann (Judith's sister) until her death.

There are several dates recorded in various places, for the marriage of Martha Jackson and Allen Reynolds. Ancestry shows 18 Dec 1833; recorded in Provo, UTAH; the headstone, marking their graves shows 15 May 1842, and another record, still a third date. Found; Chesley Jackson killed in the Civil War; memoralized on a black granite War Memorial in Danville, Virginia. See Photo

Allen married Martha Ann Jackson 24 May 1843, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Martha (daughter of James Samuel Jackson and Judith Emmerson) was born 30 Mar 1819, North Carolina or Virginia; died 24 Mar 1909, Pittsylvania County, Virginia; was buried , Worlds, Rt. 969, Pittsylvania Co., Virginia. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Martha Ann Jackson, d/o James Samuel and Judith Emmerson Jackson is the niece of Levi Jackson. Levi and his wife Ann Emmerson (sister to Martha's mother, Judith) had no children of their own and reared Judith's children after her death in circa 1828. Martha too, was probably in their household in the 1830 Census which shows one female child age 10-15 along with 6 other children. Levi and Ann had no children. Presumably these children are those of Ann's sister. It is likely that Martha named her eldest son, Levi for her uncle who helped raise her.
At the time of the 1880 Census they were living in Franklin Co., next door to Susan Bryant, proven to be a daughter of James, (sister of Martha Ann) Martha Ann is named for her mother's grandmother, Martha Walker.


Buried:

The 'modern' marker for Allen Gilmer and Martha Ann Jackson Reynolds was installed by Mrs. Ruth Mae Reynolds Marlowe, d/o William Barton "Bart" and Nancy "Nannie" Reynolds. Martha Ann Jackson was Ruth's grandmother.
Martha Ann Jackson is the daughter of James Samuel Jackson and Judith Emmerson. Judith Emmerson is the daughter of John Emmerson. Judith Emmerson DOB of 1787 is from an entry in the LDS IGI. She was deceased by Jan 1833 when James Jackson married a second time and two of her younger children were in the household of her sister and brother-in-law Anne Emmerson Jackson and Levi Jackson.

Curtis Reynolds is listed here as the son of Luther and with a sister named Bernice who had a twin who died at birth. Curtis ran the Cat and Fiddle Grocery in Danville just this side of Union Street Bridge, which was a really large store. He and his wife lived in Forest Hills. I don't know if you can read the upper right after Ruth Oakes' name (from Portugal)? Grandma Emma always said the Reynolds' were blond with blue eyes until one married a girl from Portugal??
