    Library of Virginia Chancery Naming Sarah Philpott Reynolds Grandchildren, listed by Family

    Hugh Reynolds, s/o Sarah Philpott Reynolds and John Devin Reynolds, married 1st, Frances M. Bishop (1840-18 Aug 1863), and 2nd, Elizabeth J. Haley (1845-), d/o Thomas Jefferson Haley (1808-?) and Nancy Lester (1817-) Haley. Children are Hugh Oliver b 1872-Jan 18, 1951 Burried in Boones Chapel Ch.

No other information about Fannie. and William Barton Reynolds born 1 Jun 1885 in Pittsylvania. Three of these children are shown on Census Records and on Chancery Court Records located in the LVA.

    This is the Hughey Reynolds who lived next to Ellen Rigney in 1870's and 1880's. Sarah Philpott is his mother. Ellen Rigney had 13 illegitimate children and lived next door to Ellen. It is suspected that one of Ellen's children, Madison Monroe may be the s/o Hughey, although it is not proven. Only that the descendant's dna is a perfect match to the Reynolds of Pittsylvania County, VA -Mary Frances Reynolds Eggleston
