    • 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...

  • Notes 
    • Jessey is the spelling found in William's Will. 'Jesse'
      is found on marriage bonds and other documents.
      All of these families lived in the southeastern quadrant
      of Pittsylvania County, Virginia.
      Of the large family of William and Martha Reynolds, only
      one son remained in this county {Pittsylvania} to carry on the name. This was Jesse. He had eight daughters who were married in Pittsylvania County.
      ****************

      From the book The Rennolds- Reynolds Family of England and
      Virginia by Stephen Frederick Tillman

      page 118.
      1112 Jesse Reynolds, son of David Reynolds, [incorrect! his father is William as shown in Jesse's Application for Benefits] b.1754,[ic:16 May 1754] who m. Sarah [Brown]-. He served in the Rev. War with the Va. State Line(AG 50152) and then settled in Henrico County, Va and then Pittsylvania Co.,VA. Mrs. Reynolds d.7-15-1840. Issue:John David [no evidence of son, John David]; Elizabeth who m. 8-14-1819 Champness Evans; Patsey, who m.7-26-1810 Samuel Blair; Nancy who m.9-28-1803 Frederick Brown; Sarah, who m.8-8-1810 David Evans; Judith, who m.9-22-1803 Samuel Matherly; Mary, who m. 1-17-1816 Jesse Pearman; Anne who m.3-16-1812 William Shackleford; Da[n]iel, who m.10-16-1822 Polly Bradley, and settled in NC; Milley, who m.10-12-1810 Vincent Brown.

      Note: Much of the Tillman Record of the Pittsylvania Reynolds has been proven to be incorrect; it seems his assistant was a secretary in the Reynolds Family Association and this Patrick County line is descended from Christopher Reynolds. The Pittsylvania Reynolds line is descended from the Reynolds of Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania or in the Pennsylvania/Maryland region. Evidence of the connection of this William Reynolds of Culpepper and Hugh Reynolds of Muddy Run, Lancaster Pennsylvania has NOT been located to my knowledge. -mary frances reynolds

      Jesse bought the land his father, William left to his
      brothers, Joseph and Richard Cole, in 50 acre parcels in
      1794 after the death of William in 1791.

      This entry by S.F.TILLMAN is incorrect. Jesse Reynolds is the s/o William Reynolds and Martha Cole. His children are named in his RW Pension. The children named appear to be partially correct;Patsy m. Stephen Barker, not Samuel Blair unless it was a 2nd. they are not related to the descendants of Hugh Reynolds and likely not Christopher Reynolds.-Mary Frances Eggleston
