NOTES:
a. He is believed to be the same "James Renell" in Plymouth who was among those "from sixteen to sixty years of age" able to bear arms. It is believed he may then have removed to Newport, as he was among those who petitioned the R.I. Assembly for land in King's Province (later Kingstown, RI), May, 1665; many others who settled in this vicinity were known to have been Newport men. In 1669 he was living not far from the village of East Greenwich on a tract of about 150 acres. On 25 Sep 1671, the Assembly directed that "for the inhabitants between Pettaquamscutt and Warwick the Assembly do nominate Mr. Richard Smith, Mr. Thomas Gould, Mr. Samuel Dyre, Mr. James Reynolds, and Henry Tibbotts, they or any three or more of them shall be the persons to levie and assess the rate of the Inhabitants there." On the eve the breakout of King Philip's War in 1675, James' eldest son John was killed, but James and the remainder of his family escaped, as did many others, to Wickford, when Indians attacked and burned the settlers homes. He was a large landowner and later in his life, gifted or transferred much of his land to his sons. He was almost always referred to in the records as Mr. James Reynolds, indicating the degree of respect with which he was held.
b. He was about 12 years of age when his father petitioned for land in King's Province. Tradition states that he settled on the "Great Plan" (a plateau of land near Wickford and then a wildnerness) before the advent of King Philip's War. After the war, when the land had been vacated by the Indians, we find that on 3 Jun 1709, the Colony agents sold "Joseph Reynolds, Sr., Joseph Reynolds, Jr., Robert Reynolds, and William Bentley" 727 acres "as platted...North by the new highway, South by the Pettaquamscot Northwest Line, East by the road running to East Greenwich, and West by vacant lands." Joseph held 255 acres of the southeastern portion of the above 727 acres. He and his sons were literally the first white settlers of this territory. By his first wife, whose identity is not known, he had 11 children, Joseph (md Susannah Babcock, (2) Deborah (md Job Babcock), Robert (md Deliverance Smith), James (md Sarah), Benjamin (md Experience Hull), Hannah (md Samuel Crandall), John (md Hannah Hull), Mercy (md Jeremiah Jones), Samuel (md Rosanna), Mary (md Thomas Bentley), and Clement (md Jane Bentley). His second wife, Deborah, whose surname is not known, was said to have close in age to James' eldest surviving son.
