Notes:

See Pittsylvania County, VA Landowners Per 1797 Land Tax: Transcribed by Mary Leigh Boisseau: Lists Hugh Reynolds as owing 2 parcels of land; the first, 105 acres and the second 65 acres. If, Hugh Reynolds, father of Joseph and William, and husband of Mary Nealey Reynolds had died by 1797, he would not have been on this taxables list. Hugh Reynolds, his grandson, s/o Joseph and Peggy Devin Reynolds would only be 17 years old in 1797; therefore this list must refer to Hugh, the original settler in Pittsylvania County.

3 Aug 1771 Va Patent Bk. 40 p. 551, Pittsylvania Co., Hugh Reynolds received patent for 298 acres on waters of Banister River adjoining land of Nealy & Roberts (Doc. 1140)

Hugh Reynolds, William Devin, and William Neely are found on the same tax lists in 1757-1759 of Martock 'Martic', Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Records for Hugh's marriage to Mary Neeley are found in the Rev. Cuthbertson diaries and document the marriage of Hugh, as well as the Baptism of Joseph, and William, his eldest son. Birth record has been located for the birth of William, who is named in the Will of his grandfather, William Neeley, and left William his land, in 1791. Joseph, the 2nd son, was already married to Margaret Devin and was left his grandfather's other possessions. The Mother of these children is also named in this will as 'Mary Reynolds'. In the Cuthbertson records, she is seen as Mary K.

On 04 Nov 1774 Hugh Reynolds bought 57 acres on the south side of Tomahawk Creek in Pittsylvania County, Virginia from William Nealey. (DB 4/91). This is probably the same tract of land listed as 65 acres on the land tax list from 1782 through 1809. After his death, this land went to his son, William Reynolds.
**********
"His requests for land patents (almost 1200 acres) are recorded in the Land Entry Book, 1737-1770. He may not have received all this land, but it proves he was living here in order to request the surveys." - Anna Evans 1993 Lineages
*********
On 15 Apr 1783 Hugh Reynolds bought 105 acres on Tomahawk Creek from Killian Kreek for 15 pounds. This is the 105 acre tract shown on the land tax list from 1786 through 1809. At his death, this property went to his son, William Reynolds.

In 1782, the General Assembly of Virginia enacted new legislation providing for the enumeration of the owners of real property in each county. The owner's of each parcel of land were recorded. If a person owned more than one parcel, his name appeared multiple times, one for each tract of land he owned. Hugh Reynolds appears on the 1782 land tax list of Pittsylvania County, VA with 65 acres of land. This is the parcel which he purchased from William Nealey in 1774. For the next three years, only revisions to the land tax list were recorded. From 1786 forward, the list included all properties, not just the revisions from previous years. From 1786 to 1809 Hugh Reynolds appears on the land tax list with two parcels, one of 65 acres and the other of 105 acres. In the 1810 list William Reynolds, son of Hugh, is listed as the owner of these two parcels. This shows that Hugh Reynolds died between the dates of these two tax lists.

-There are two William Reynolds here; William 'of Culpepper' is the elder and the young man William Reynolds is the grandson of William Nealey and the son of Hugh Reynolds and Mary Nealey.
-William 'of Culpepper' Reynolds died in 1791, so the two entries in this record in 1791 and 1792 may apply (probably do) to the elder William or his son, William. The William of Culpepper family lived on the opposite side of the County; to date, 2017, there is no evidence that the two Reynolds families are related or intermarried.

Hugh Reynolds is found on the tax lists of Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania along with a William Reynolds who comes of age a year or two before Hugh. Hugh and the Nealeys and Devins whose families intermarry in Virginia is likely a brother of this William Reynolds who marries Margaret Patterson in Lancaster, PA, and is recorded in the diaries of the Rev.
