• Name	Mary B. Hughes
  Born	22 Jan 1824	Williamson County, Tennessee
  	About 1809, George Reynolds moved to Williamson Co, TN. Two of his daughters, Elizabeth and Susanna having married Richard and James Hughes, and I take it that these families and the Pryors, Stones, Perkins and others, went at the same time. Our ancestor died in Williamson county, TN, about 1813. "George Reynolds, 1st Lieutenant, comissioned August 1780, by court, under P. Hairston, from Henry Va., Caroline county." His and neighboring families removed to Williamson County, TN about 1809. [2]

It is very probable that he and other members of the family came to Virginia and lingered awhile in Orange county, Va, about the year 1754, as there appears a record of a lease of land to Richard Reynolds from John Spottswood during the lives of Richard Spencer and George Reynolds.
