    • William of Culpepper lived in Culpepper County, Virginia before he settled in Pittsylvania. Evidence of this fact is found in his son's Pension Application (see documents). His Will is found in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia recorded in 1791. All of his children but Jesse left Pittsylvania County after his death. Further research is underway.

    • Several deeds located for Culpeper Co., Virginia for this time period name other Reynolds (Runnolds) etc. DB E 1765-69 Page 564-66 shows a John Reynolds on a tract commonly called Mountponey. I googled Mount Poney and found it located in Culpeper Co and and taken off from a church called Mountain Run, in Orange County, Mountpony Church in was constituted in 1768... . It appears that John Reynolds was now living on tht land in 1768...
