  [S107] Family Histories, History of William Garrett Reynolds, by Christine Reynolds Stone. Men of the community or adjoining communities would contest with each other in the skill of riding a horse at full tilt down a track and by means of a long lance, pick off rings suspended from poles by putting the lance through the rings. It was at such a meet that Johnson first met Mary Brumfield, who won his heart. William Garrett and his wife and children were charter members of Greenpond Baptist Church. It is said that they gave the wood for the first little church building. Their love for our Lord and service to Him are a treasured heritage. William Garrett Reynolds published his last will and testament January 9, 1868 and died 19 days later. William Garrett Reynolds was named for his maternal grandmother, Ann Garrett, mother of Sarah Ann Philpott. William Garrett Reynolds was a farmer, and a Baptist. He was a member of the Home Guards during the Civil War. He lived in Both Pittsylvania and Henry Counties, Virginia. His last place of residence was near Climax, Virginia.
