Henry Jr. was known as "Preacher Henry" He was a preacher of some note in the Society of Friends, and his name appears many times in the records of Nottingham Meeting of Friends. He is listed on the West Nottingham tax list 1718-1778. He inherited the north lot, #5 in the Nottingham Lots, 490 acres, from his father. The tract of land was called Henry's Deer Park. By 1939 the property consisted of 122 acres and was called 'Greystone". The name came from the massive gate posts at the entrance to the lane leading to the house. The property today is 80 acres with the 'new house' which was built in 1791 and is still owned by Reynolds.

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. To son Henry tract of land in Nottingham containing 490 acres. To son William, tract in Nottingham [being a south lott] containing 490 acres. To each of my daughters, viz Margaret, Prudence, Doborah and Hannah 1 shilling each. To wife Prudence all personal estate, also executrix.

One of these may have been the pioneer ancestor of the family in America, hut in the absence of proof it would be meere guess work and idle speculation to assume that such is the case. William Brown, the earliest ancestor of whom we have definite information, resided in Stafford County,
Virginia. A search of the records reveals t tie fact that Leonard Barker conveyed to William Brown, by deeds of lease and release bearing date of April 20th and April 18th. 1726 a tract of 21 2| acres of land on Powell's Run and the branches thereof, m the County of Stafford, (now Prince William). Virginia. Following is the history of the formation of Stafford, Prince William and Fauquier Counties hereafter referred to:

In the year 1618 the Colony of Northumberland was formed, (at first called Chickawane, or Chickown), and declared by an act of that year to contain the "Neck of land between Rappahannock River ami Potomack River." Westmoreland was formed from Northumberland in 1058. Stafford was formed from Westmoreland in 1075. Prince William was formed in 1730 from Stafford and included all the territory now embraced in Prince William, Fairfax, Fauquier and Loudoun. The District of Columbia was formed from Fairfax after that County was cut off from Prince William. Fauquier County was formed from a portion of Prince William in the year 1759.

By his will, bearing date of December 29, 1732, Wm. Brown devised this land to his son, William Brown, Jr., also of Prince William Count, Virginia. Careful and painstaking research has failed to reveal the place and date of his birth or death. The records show, however, that he and his wife were both buried in the family burying ground comprising one acre of the above mentioned land set apart for that purpose, near what is now the Post Office of Independent Hill, a few miles south of Manassas, Virginia. The name of his wife has not been ascertained, but that she lived for some years after his death seems probable, for on July 24th, 1744, their three orphan boys, William Brown, John Brown and George Brown were placed under the guardianship of George Byrn and Cuthbert Harrison, gentlemen, as evidenced by the following bond: (Will Book C., page 511, Prince William County Records). "Know all men by these presents that we, George Byrn and Cuthbert Harrison, gent., are held and firmly bound unto Robert Souers, Richard Blackburn, Benjamin Grayson, John Wright, gentlemen, Justices of the County of Prince William, their heirs and successors, in the sum of five hundred pounds sterling to the which payment well and truly be made we bind ourselves, our heirs, and administrators jointly and severally firmly by these presents sealed with our seals, dated this 21th day of July in the year of our lord 1744. The condition of the above obligation is such that if the above bound George Byrn, Guardian of William Broun. Jno Brown arid George Brown, his heirs, executors and administrators do and shall well and truly pay unto these orphans all such, estate and estates as now is or hereafter shall come into the hands or the possession of the said George Byrn so soon as the said orphans shall attain to lawful age or when thereunto required by the aforesaid Court of Prince William and shall also well and truly save harmless and indemnified the said Justices their heirs and successors from all trouble and damage that shall or may be about the said estate. Then the said obligation to be void and of no effect or else to remain in full force and virtue.
