  	On November 14, 1883 when Daddy was nearly 22 and Mother was sixteen, they were married at her home, "The Elms" near what is now Renan. Mother's family had moved from the Greenpond-Hollywood neighborhood to Renan in 1882. The first year of their marriage, Daddy and Mother lived with his mother, Betsy Blair Reynolds, and farmed with her. The next year, they moved to the land Grandfather Brumfield had given them at Renan. The home they built was located below what later became the highway. Mother had wanted to be on high ground, however, the house was placed just a few yards from one of the best springs anywhere around and, in the days when water was brought in by bucketsful and a springhouse was the only means of cooling food, having a spring nearby was a real asset.

• Notes

  The following is an article Homie Stone Hubbard (Sam's sister) found in an old DAR Magazine and sent to me. Date Unknown. Article attributed to Bruce Reynolds, brother of Christine Reynolds Stone, daughter of Keene Johnson Reynolds, s/o William Garrett Reynolds. "When your luck is all out and you're down in the mouth; when you're stuck in the North when you want to be South; and the world looks a blank, and there's no one to love and it seems even God's not in Heaven above - I've a cure for that grouch and it works like a shot. I just think of the things I am glad I AM NOT. I just think of the hundreds of worse things I might be, then down on my knees I thank God I am ME. Oh, yes, my blues disappear when I think what I've GOT and quite soon I've forgotten the things I have not." -Bruce Reynolds My first recollection of Bruce is when he was a teenage boy. He was strong and proud of it. He could take me up on one hand and lift me high over his head. What fun! He went to Brookneal school for awhile, staying in the home of Uncle Will Brumfield who encouraged him to continue his education. Later he attended Fork Union Military Academy, a boys' Baptist school. From there he went to the University of Virginia, University of Iowa, and the Johns Hopkins University, earning his Doctor of Science degree. He was professor of Biology at the University of Virginia, and was the heard of that department when he died. He was the founder of the summer Graduate Department of Biology at Mountain Lake, Va. at Mountain Lake. During World War I he was First Lieutenant in the Air Service, Aircraft Production. Some of his professional and social organizations were A.A.A.S. (Council 1953-56); A.ES., S.P; A.S.B. (President 1953-54) Bruce and his wife, Kitty, lived in Arkansas a short while, then in Charlottesville. When I finished school at Bluefield College and wanted to go to the Univrsity of Virginia in the fall of 1928, Burce and Kitty took me into their home for one session. The next session they had moved out of Charlottesville, and I boarded in town. I have fond memories of their kindnesses to me while I was a student.

She descends from Keen Johnson Reynolds, s/o William Garrett Reynolds. Much of her information is correct; but she missed the lineage on the earliest immigrant, Hugh Reynolds; Christine followed Stephen Frederick Tillman's account of the Reynolds and was misled to David Reynolds when the ancestor was Hugh Reynolds, Father of Joseph and William.
