Sarah, Mrs. George Reynolds, b. Est 1698, Likely Ireland , d. 15 Feb 1750, Muddy Run, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania Colony (Age ~ 52 years) |
Married |
- George and Sarah Reynolds:
Toumbstone for Sarah Runnals reports her death as Feb 1750 at Muddy Run Presbyterian Church Cemetery; Sarah Runnals is named wife in the Will of George Reynolds in Shippensburg, PA in 1752.
George Runnels has twins baptized by Cuthbertson in Dec 1751, which is almost immediately upon the Reverend's arrival to America.
Hugh Reynolds and William Reynolds are also named in the Cuthbertson Diaries along with George Reynolds. The meetings held by Rev. Cuthbertson seems to be small gatherings of families of the area, suggesting Hugh, William and George are of the same family. The Will of George Reynolds names only son John [baptised by Cuthbertson] and daughters, Mary and Elizabeth [Elizabeth also baptized by Cuthbertson]. Will for George is probated in 1752. Daughter, Mary Reynolds is mentioned in Will of George, whose Will of 20 July 1757, names wife Mary and leaves to the Sons, Hugh and John, plantation of the estate of George Reynolds, in Lurgan Township. Mary Williamson (nee Davison) names her sons Hugh and John. Father of George Reynolds, John, is married to Mary Magaw. Mary Reynolds'(nee Magaw) Will of 1757 in Shippensburg, PA names brother David Magaw. This will is witnessed by the same individuals who witnessed Mary Williamson's (nee Davison).
