  • Notes 
    • William Reynolds is the proven son of Hugh Reynolds; his grandfather, William Nealey, left William his land, in it's entirety. Brother, Joseph, received his other property. Hugh Reynolds' wife, Mary, is named in the Will and Hugh, their father, is Surety for his sons.

      Oaths of Allegiance 1777 Pittsylvania County, Virginia
      NOTE: Hugh Reynolds and his son Joseph are found on this 1777 list. Hugh's son William, is not. Joseph's Baptism recorded in the Cuthbertson diaries, of 15 Aug 1759 gives us his age. William is the elder son, also recorded in the diaries. William is shown on court records in 1788 when he inherits the land of his grandfather, William Neeley. Both Joseph and William are Qualified as Executors (Book 6/170 Pittsylvania Co., Virginia Court Records 1787-91)
      Another court record dated 22 Mar 1796 for William Reynolds, Plaintiff and Charles Lewis, as defendant, may be our William, as the other William Reynolds of Culpepper has died in 1791. dna results show no connecton for these two families. -Mary Frances Reynolds

      copy done by Cynthia Hubbard Headen

      source: The Magazine of VA Genealogy, v.23, #1 (Feb.1985),
      transcribed by Marian Dodson Chiarito

      These lists were taken from a typewritten copy found in the Clerk's Office, Pittsylvania County, at Chatham, Virginia. The two following affidavits found attached to the copy are self- explanatory.

      I, S. H. F. Jones, do hereby certify that about the year 1930 I personally copied and had checked the names of persons who took the oath of Allegiance in 1777 as shown by manuscripts then in the Clerk's Office of Pittsylvania County, Virginia. The writing was faded and a few names could not be deciphered. Every effort was made to transcribe the names as they appeared on the manuscripts. The names of the foregoing Lists are a true and correct copy of the aforesaid manuscripts to the best of my knowledge and belief. The lists were also checked by Mr. Langhorne Jones, atty.
      Given under my hand and seal this 8th day of November, 1939.

    1. [S78] Tax Record.
      See Pittsylvania County, VA Landowners Per 1797 Land Tax: Transcribed by Mary Leigh Boisseau: Lists Hugh Reynolds as owing 2 parcels of land; the first, 105 acres and the second 65 acres. If, Hugh Reynolds, father of Joseph and William, and husband of Mary Nealey Reynolds had died by 1797, he would not have been on this taxables list. Hugh Reynolds, his grandson, s/o Joseph and Peggy Devin Reynolds would only be 17 years old in 1797; therefore this list must refer to Hugh, the original settler in Pittsylvania County.

      3 Aug 1771 Va Patent Bk. 40 p. 551, Pittsylvania Co., Hugh Reynolds received patent for 298 acres on waters of Banister River adjoining land of Nealy & Roberts (Doc. 1140)

      Hugh Reynolds, William Devin, and William Neely are found on the same tax lists in 1757-1759 of Martock 'Martic', Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Records for Hugh's marriage to Mary Neeley are found in the Rev. Cuthbertson diaries and document the marriage of Hugh, as well as the Baptism of both William and Joseph, his sons. William, who is named in the Will of his grandfather, William Neeley, was left his land as the eldest son, in 1791. Joseph, the younger son, was already married to Margaret Devin and was left his grandfather's other possessions. The Mother of these children is also named in this will as 'Mary Reynolds'. In the Cuthbertson records, she is seen as Mary K. where this marriage is recorded.

    2. [S78] Tax Record.
      The Pittsylvania County Tax List for 1815 show William Reynolds Jr. and Sr. next to each other. They are on Tomahawk Creek shown on the 1815 101st Regiment list. This implies that William s/o Hugh had a son, William. It is not the William on Birches Creek who died in 1791; it is not William Reynolds who was Joseph's son and married Nancy Blair; this leads to the conclusion that this William is the s/o Hugh Reynolds, the original settler in Pittsylvania County.
      In the 1700's the Jr. and Sr. designation is not always father and son. It also denotes other relationships or mearly an aged man vs. a younger one.

    3. [S160] Correspondence.
      Conversation with Don Bennett:
      1. From 1787 on, the tax lists for Pittsylvania County were divided into two lists, A & B basically representing the northern and southern parts of the county. Any year will do, but I will use 1790 to make this point. The tax list 1790A shows in order William Reynolds, Jesse Reynolds, and Richard Reynolds. This is the William who died in 1791. After Richard Reynolds name is the notation (Burch Creek). This is where this family lived about where modern day Kentuck is in the southeastern part of the county. List 1790B show Hugh Reynolds, William Reynolds, and Joseph Reynolds. This is the family of Hugh Reynolds and they live in the western part of the county. These are two different, probably unrelated, families.
      2. In his will, William Nealey left his personal property to grandson, Joseph, and his real property to his grandson, William. William Nealey appears on the land tax list through 1788 with 50 acres of land. In 1789, William Nealey is absent and the land is owned by William Reynolds. William Reynolds continues to appear on the land tax lists through 1833.
      3. This point will also give the date of death of Hugh Reynolds. The Devintimber website notes that Hugh Reynolds appears on the land tax list in 1797 with two tracts of land of 65 and 105 acres. This is true. In actually first appears on the tax list with these two tracts of land in 1786 and continues on the tax list through 1810. In 1811, these two tracts of land are owned by William Reynolds, the same William Reynolds who inherited the 50 acres from William Neally. From 1811 to 1833, William continued to be on the tax list with three tracts of land, 50, 65, and 105 acres. So, William Reynolds inherited his father's land after his death in 1810.

      This is the accurate record of this Wm. Reynolds. I have never found a pension record for this individul. A William Reynolds Pension Record is found on Ancestry, however, that record is from Caroline Co., Virginia. I do not believe that record is for THIS William Reynolds. He never lived in Caroline County. He paid taxes on his land until 1833, presumably the 50 acres he inherited from his grandfather, William Neeley. {see documents}-mfe
