John Devin Reynolds is the 2nd son of Joseph M. Reynolds and his wife, Margaret Devin. Named for his Uncle John, and his Mother's Maiden name [Devin], he was born in 1783. He died 18 Mar 1831. His death was not an easy one. He writhed in agony from what we know today, as kidney stones, and after 9 days, finally succumbed to his exhaustion. His wife, described his agony and mortification in a letter to her daughter, Herodias in Missouri.

Because John's father, Joseph M. Reynolds had two wives, he enjoyed the company of 17 siblings. Eldest brother, Hugh is beginning his family in the same year his father produces his final heir.

Absolute documented proof, and multiple dna matches, confirm the father of Joseph M. Reynolds, and grandfather of John Devin Reynolds, is Hugh Reynolds of Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Pittsylvania County Virginia.

John married Sarah Ann "Sally" dna Philpott 19 Jul 1808, Henry County, Virginia . Sarah (daughter of Charles Thomas Philpott and Elizabeth Garrett) was born 1 Oct 1784, Frederick County, Maryland; died Abt 1863, Pittsylvania County, Virginia C.S.A.; was buried , Worlds Cemetery Callands, Virginia.

l
George K. Smith (the last ancestor that I have authentic
proof of in 1953 - BTA) owned around 1100 acres of land in
Pittsylvania County, Virginia on Tomahawk Creek (near
Museville). According to family tradition, he was born
near Museville, Virginia and buried near Tomahawk, Va.
where he lived. Family tradition says he was a miller.
Value of property, $15,302; George K. Smith married Susan
Adkins and had the following issue:
1. Booker (Bowker) Smith was never married. He built the
R.J. Reynolds tobacco factory and manufactured tobacco. He
had a train of wagons and sold it through the Carolinas and
Georgia. He died in early manhood so showed a genius for
business ability quite young. (This line of Smith's are
related to R.J.Reynolds' wife according to Dr. George Smith
Anderson, nephew of Booker Smith). According to his
tombstone at the old Smith home near Tomahawk he died
Sepember 23, 1841.

2. Ralph Smith, born September 1, 1813; d. January7,
1902; married 7th December 1843, Ardennia Wright (b. Jan.
14, 1827;d. Jan. 24, 1904). Ralph was
willed land on Tomahawk Creek by his father, Geo. K. Smith,
and his son, William lived on a farm adjoining that of his
brother, Ralph.

3. William Smith, born September 2, 1818; died August
2,1896. He married February 18, 1856 Rebecca Hodnett (b.
Sept. 28,1852;d. July 11, 1904). He owned a vast amount of
land on Tomahawk Creek and had many slaves who stayed on
with him even after the war as long as he lived, thus
making it most profitable for him. He was a very
successful farmer. During the Civil War he lost a leg but
this did not seem to handicap him in anyway. He once rode
horseback alone to Kentucky with nine thousand dollars in
his pocket and purchased 1000 acres of land from a Mr.
Grubb for himself, Mr. Joe Reynolds and Ward Reynolds which
extended from Greenpond back to Bearskin Creek, etc.
He and wife were buried at their old home place
where the home and tombstones still stand (1953).

4. Jabez Smith married Catherine Ann Mahan and died
without issue. They were buried at the old home place near
Tomahawk.

Greenpond Church and they, too, are buried at their old
homeplace. Adkins-Oakes Cemetery
