Margaret Exton Reynolds' second husband was John Carter. Margaret's will, dated 1684-Dec-8, was probated 1688-Oct-15. No primary sources have been located to indicate William came to America. Since his children's births from 1645-1655 are recorded at Chichester, England and his will, dated 1660, lists his residence as Chichester, England it is very unlikely he immigrated to America.

Notes:

There existed an ancient pitcher, known as the Reynolds Pitcher. It was in the possession of a Miss Weir in 1901. It was supposed to be bequeathed to J. T. Reynolds, of Media PA. One one side of the pitcher was a portrait and the words "Reynolds, the Philanthropist" . The reverse side bore the legend";
"Not in the fiery hurricane of strife,
Midst slaughtered legions, he resign'd his life;
Reynolds expires, a nobler chief than these;
But Widow's tears, in sad bereavement fall,
And foundling voices on their father call'
But sweet repose his slumbering ashes find,
As if in Salem's sepulcher enshrined;
And watching angels waited for the day,
When Christ should bid them roll the stone away."
Mr. J. T. Reynolds believed the portrait was that ofWilliam Reynolds, father of Henry Reynolds of Chichester,PA. The present location of the pitcher is unknown.

Henry Reynolds was granted lots 5 and 19, about 1000 acres, in the "Nottingham Lots" by William Penn in 1701. The Nottingham Lots were thought to be located in Chester Co., PA, but were found to be in Cecil Co., MD when the boundary between these states was settled in 1768. Henry Reynolds' will bequeathed 290 acres in Chichester Twp., PA, where he lived, to his son, Francis. His son, William was left 490 acres, the south lot, in Nottingham. His son, John, received 210 acres on the south west side of the middle branch of Naman's Creek in Chichester Twp., Chester Co., PA. His son, Henry, Jr., received 490 acres the north lot in Nottingham. Henry bequeathed each of his 4 daughters, one schilling. He left his personal estate to his loving wife, Prudence. He stipulated Francis and John to each pay 20 pounds to thier brother, William, when he reached the age of 21.

It is often stated Henry Reynolds came to America with William Penn. Henry came to America in 1676, and William Penn came to America in 1682. Henry Reynolds is also reputed to be the founder of the village of Rising Sun, MD by opening a Public House. Other sources say Henry never lived in Rising Sun. Henry was shown as a non-resident taxpayer for his property in the Nottingham Lots from March 1718 to 1722. Henry appeared before the Chester Co. Court 14 Mar 1681, for selling strong liquors by small measure in his house contrary to the Governor's and Council's order. His will, dated 1720 states he lives in Chichester and has no mention of a public house. The north lot near Rising Sun MD, bequeathed to Henry Jr. is described as a plantation. The south lot near Rising Sun Md., bequeathed to William is described as a tract of land. Henry Reynolds' Will (excerpt)To son Francis the plantation where I live in Chichester containing 290 acres, he paying his bother William when 21, 20 pounds.

Reynolds Got this raor from his father, Samuel) who said it 'shaved his grandfather' (Henry). On the reverse side, "who came in the first vessel in the DELAWARE IN THE YEAR 1661.
