| 2. |  Joseph Welch Reynolds (1.Frances1) was born 14 May 1934, Danville, Virginia; died 26 Sep 1992, Charlotte, North Carolina ; was buried 29 Sep 1992, Charlotte, North Carolina . Notes:
Joseph Welch Reynolds, brother of Mary Frances Reynolds Eggleston contracted polio when he was 13 years old. Unlike many victims, he recovered almost completely and was left with only a weakness in his left leg, ultimately until his death.
Joseph Welch Reynolds was named for his mother's brother, Joseph Alpha Carter, Jr. who died the year he was born; and the Welch name came from Mr. William Welch Clark who was the protector of his father, Samuel Lovelace Reynolds. After the death of his mother, Mary Lou (Molly) Reynolds, Mr. Clark took Sam under his wing and educated him. Molly, who died when Sam was 15 years old, contracted appendicitis, it ruptured, and she died of Sepsis. Mr. Welch Clark lived in a historic house on Main Street, Danville, VA and was a well know bachelor who traveled widely and is remembered by even distant family members and community members as having brought back from a trip to Florida, an alligator for a pet. See photograph of Mr. Welch Clark and his alligator from circa 1918-1921. Mr. Clark never married and had no issue, but my father loved him as though he was his father.

| 3. |  *Mary Frances Reynolds (1.Frances1) was born 5 May 1947, Danville, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Notes:
In 1728, William Byrd headed an expedition sent to determine the true boundary between Virginia and North Carolina. One night late that summer, the party camped upstream from what is now Danville, Byrd was so taken with the beauty of the land, that he prophesied a future settlement in the vicinity, where people would live ?with much comfort and gaiety of Heart.? The river along which he camped was named the ?Dan?, for Byrd, supposing himself to be in the land of plenty, felt he had wandered ?from Dan to Beersheba?.
The first white settlement (numerous Native American tribes had lived in the area) occurred downstream from Byrd?s campsite in 1792, at a spot along the river shallow enough to allow fording. It was named 'Wynne?s Falls,? after the first settler. The village has a ?social? reason for its origin, since it was here that pioneering Revolutionary War veterans met once a year to fish and talk over old times.
The establishment by the General Assembly of a tobacco warehouse at Wynne?s Falls in 1793 was the beginning of ?The World?s Best Tobacco Market.? Virginia?s largest market for bright leaf tobacco. The village was renamed Danville by act of the Virginia Legislature on November 23, 1793. A charter for the town was drawn up February 17, 1830, but by the time of its issue, the population had exceeded the pre-arranged boundaries. This necessitated a new charter, which was issued in 1833. In that year, James Lanier was elected the first mayor, assisted by a council of ?twelve fit and able men.?
On July 22, 1882, six of Danville's enterprising citizens founded the Riverside Cotton Mills, which was in its day known the country over as Dan River Inc., the largest single-unit textile mill in the world. The mill is now closed, and many of its buildings have been torn down and the bricks sold. One very important building, "The White Mill," is now being renovated as an apartment complex.
On September 9, 1882, Danville mayor John H. Johnston shot and killed his chief of police John E. Hatcher, after Hatcher demanded an apology for a statement Johnston had made regarding unaccounted fine money. Johnston was charged with murder, and acquitted at trial.
