  Notes	Alan Reynolds June 6 2020 John Reynolds was first of my family to arrive in America from England. His name is noted on a monument to 60 original settlers of Watertown Massachusetts (5 miles west of Cambridge) who arrived there in 1630 with Puritan leader Governor Saltonstall. He is also on another monument as a founder of Greenwich Connecticut. John Reynolds was reportedly born May 1, 1612 in Boxford, Suffolk, England, and died after 1651 (possibly July 18, 1660) in Greenwich or Stamford Connecticut. He was admitted as a Freeman of Watertown on May 6, 1635, which was necessary to vote and hold office. It required being a landholder and a member of Watertown church. John?s wife Sarah Chesterfield arrived on the ship Elizabeth from Ipswich in 1634 at age 20, already married (she is Sarah Reynolds on the ship records). In 1636, John and Sarah moved with several other settlers, including John?s brother Robert, to Weathersfield, Connecticut. Sarah died August 21, 1657. John?s father, George, was born about 1563 in county Kent, England, married in 1584 to Thomasyn Church, and died 1634 in London. George?s father Christopher Reynolds, the first known of the family, was born between 1527 and 1530 in Kent. He married about 1554 and settled in London where he and his brother Nathaniel and his seven sons engaged in trade and commerce. Robert, who also emigrated to New England, was born about 1587-1590 and married Mary Pulleyne. He died in Boston on April 27, 1658 and his son Nathaniel moved to Bristol, Rhode Island, where a statue of his son Joseph bears the Reynolds coat of arms with the shield of a squire (suggesting the family?s high standing in England). In the summer of 1641 John Reynolds was one of 28 men who volunteered as pioneer settlers of Stamford, using corn to buy 11 acres from the Dutch New Haven Colony (which did not join Connecticut until 1664) on the extreme west section of town, near Old Greenwich, (now Sound Beach). John and Sarah had three children: Elizabeth born about 1635, John Jr. born about 1636 in Wethersfield, and Jonathan born about 1638.
