Notes:

Henry Jr. was known as "Preacher Henry" He was a preacher of some note in the Society of Friends, and his name appears many times in the records of Nottingham Meeting of Friends. He is listed on the West Nottingham tax list 1718-1778. He inherited the north lot, #5 in the Nottingham Lots, 490 acres, from his father. The tract of land was called Henry's Deer Park. By 1939 the property consisted of 122 acres and was called 'Greystone". The name came from the massive gate posts at the entrance to the lane leading to the house. The property today is 80 acres with the 'new house' which was built in 1791 and is still owned by Reynolds.

Notes:

There existed an ancient pitcher, known as the Reynolds Pitcher. It was in the possession of a Miss Weir in 1901. It was supposed to be bequeathed to J. T. Reynolds, of Media PA. One one side of the pitcher was a portrait and the words "Reynolds, the Philanthropist" . The reverse side bore the legend";
"Not in the fiery hurricane of strife,
Midst slaughtered legions, he resign'd his life;
Reynolds expires, a nobler chief than these;
But Widow's tears, in sad bereavement fall,
And foundling voices on their father call'
But sweet repose his slumbering ashes find,
As if in Salem's sepulcher enshrined;
And watching angels waited for the day,
When Christ should bid them roll the stone away."
Mr. J. T. Reynolds believed the portrait was that ofWilliam Reynolds, father of Henry Reynolds of Chichester,PA. The present location of the pitcher is unknown.

Henry Reynolds was granted lots 5 and 19, about 1000 acres, in the "Nottingham Lots" by William Penn in 1701. The Nottingham Lots were thought to be located in Chester Co., PA, but were found to be in Cecil Co., MD when the boundary between these states was settled in 1768. Henry Reynolds' will bequeathed 290 acres in Chichester Twp., PA, where he lived, to his son, Francis. His son, William was left 490 acres, the south lot, in Nottingham. His son, John, received 210 acres on the south west side of the middle branch of Naman's Creek in Chichester Twp., Chester Co., PA. His son, Henry, Jr., received 490 acres the north lot in Nottingham. Henry bequeathed each of his 4 daughters, one schilling. He left his personal estate to his loving wife, Prudence. He stipulated Francis and John to each pay 20 pounds to thier brother, William, when he reached the age of 21.

It is often stated Henry Reynolds came to America with William Penn. Henry came to America in 1676, and William Penn came to America in 1682. Henry Reynolds is also reputed to be the founder of the village of Rising Sun, MD by opening a Public House. Other sources say Henry never lived in Rising Sun. Henry was shown as a non-resident taxpayer for his property in the Nottingham Lots from March 1718 to 1722. Henry appeared before the Chester Co. Court 14 Mar 1681, for selling strong liquors by small measure in his house contrary to the Governor's and Council's order. His will, dated 1720 states he lives in Chichester and has no mention of a public house. The north lot near Rising Sun MD, bequeathed to Henry Jr. is described as a plantation. The south lot near Rising Sun Md., bequeathed to William is described as a tract of land. Henry Reynolds' Will (excerpt)To son Francis the plantation where I live in Chichester containing 290 acres, he paying his bother William when 21, 20 pounds. To son Henry tract of land in Nottingham containing 490 acres. To son William, tract in Nottingham [being a south lott] containing 490 acres. To each of my daughters, viz Margaret, Prudence, Doborah and Hannah 1 shilling each. To wife Prudence all personal estate, also executrix.

One of these may have been the pioneer ancestor of the family in America, hut in the absence of proof it would be meere guess work and idle speculation to assume that such is the case. William Brown, the earliest ancestor of whom we have definite information, resided in Stafford County,
Virginia. A search of the records reveals t tie fact that Leonard Barker conveyed to William Brown, by deeds of lease and release bearing date of April 20th and April 18th. 1726 a tract of 21 2| acres of land on Powell's Run and the branches thereof, m the County of Stafford, (now Prince William). Virginia. Following is the history of the formation of Stafford, Prince William and Fauquier Counties hereafter referred to:

In the year 1618 the Colony of Northumberland was formed, (at first called Chickawane, or Chickown), and declared by an act of that year to contain the "Neck of land between Rappahannock River ami Potomack River." Westmoreland was formed from Northumberland in 1058. Stafford was formed from Westmoreland in 1075. Prince William was formed in 1730 from Stafford and included all the territory now embraced in Prince William, Fairfax, Fauquier and Loudoun. The District of Columbia was formed from Fairfax after that County was cut off from Prince William. Fauquier County was formed from a portion of Prince William in the year 1759.

By his will, bearing date of December 29, 1732, Wm. Brown devised this land to his son, William Brown, Jr., also of Prince William Count, Virginia. Careful and painstaking research has failed to reveal the place and date of his birth or death. The records show, however, that he and his wife were both buried in the family burying ground comprising one acre of the above mentioned land set apart for that purpose, near what is now the Post Office of Independent Hill, a few miles south of Manassas, Virginia. The name of his wife has not been ascertained, but that she lived for some years after his death seems probable, for on July 24th, 1744, their three orphan boys, William Brown, John Brown and George Brown were placed under the guardianship of George Byrn and Cuthbert Harrison, gentlemen, as evidenced by the following bond: (Will Book C., page 511, Prince William County Records). "Know all men by these presents that we, George Byrn and Cuthbert Harrison, gent., are held and firmly bound unto Robert Souers, Richard Blackburn, Benjamin Grayson, John Wright, gentlemen, Justices of the County of Prince William, their heirs and successors, in the sum of five hundred pounds sterling to the which payment well and truly be made we bind ourselves, our heirs, and administrators jointly and severally firmly by these presents sealed with our seals, dated this 21th day of July in the year of our lord 1744. The condition of the above obligation is such that if the above bound George Byrn, Guardian of William Broun. Jno Brown arid George Brown, his heirs, executors and administrators do and shall well and truly pay unto these orphans all such, estate and estates as now is or hereafter shall come into the hands or the possession of the said George Byrn so soon as the said orphans shall attain to lawful age or when thereunto required by the aforesaid Court of Prince William and shall also well and truly save harmless and indemnified the said Justices their heirs and successors from all trouble and damage that shall or may be about the said estate. Then the said obligation to be void and of no effect or else to remain in full force and virtue.

William married Catherine Williams 2 Oct 1699, Concord, Chester, Pennsylvania. Catherine was born Abt 1675; died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]

William married Mary Royale/Royall 9 May 1705, Pennsylvania. Mary was born 1686, Glasgow City, Scotland; died 1749, Nottingham, Chester County, Pennsylvania; was buried , Brick Meeting House, Calvert, Cecil County, Maryland. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

from findagrave

She was a widow 'Coal/e" at time of marriage to Jeremiah on 02mon/Apr 12/1711. Her first husband is "William Coles" The Will of William Coale, dated 11mo/Jan 31, 1710, Chester Will Bk C, pg 210, leaves his entire estate to wife Mary, and at her death to be divided between their 2 children, William and Mary Coale....please see record attached.

The area in which they lived changed boundries for counties and states during her life time. I added a map from 1715, please note red dot.

"West Nottingham was established about 1710, held at the houses of the members initially, with a preparative meeting being set up about 1730. The land on which the meetinghouse sits was donated by James King and William Harris. The current meeting house was built in 1811 and became known as ?Little? Brick?. The Nottingham meetings were both originally under Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, but were joined to Nottingham Quarter when the Cecil county meetings were transferred to Baltimore Yearly Meeting in 1819.

After the settlement of the Mason-Dixon Line/boundary, only 1,300 acres of the original Nottingham Lots remained in Chester County and the other 16,700 acres became part of Cecil County, Maryland. East and West Nottingham remained in Chester County, PA, however East Nottingham / Brick Meeting House (1st built from logs in 1709 and of brick in 1724 on Nottingham Lot #30) was just 4 miles south of the boundary, and fell under Cecil County, Maryland".
Burial records are taken from Nottingham MM records, also posted.

The following was shared by Claudia Davenport-Sullivan (47345651):
I've done some research on Mary Royle and the brothers Wm, James + Maurice Trent, who were prominent merchants from Inverness, Scotland and actively involved with selling child servants shipped from Scotland without indentures. Caleb Pusey (abt 1650-1727) bought the indentures of many of these children, one was Mary Royle in 1697. It appears that Mary Royle was among those children that earlier included Alexander Ross (1682-1748) and they were brought to the colonies by Maurice Trent and then sold to Caleb Pusey by William Trent. In 1697 Mary Royle to serve 5 yrs; in 1693 Alexander Ross to serve until age 21

[I have extensive research on Alexander Ross as he was a pioneer of Shenandoah Valley and received a grant for 40,000 acres from Lord Fairfax in 1730; he was 11 years of age when brought by the Trents to the colonies in 1693 and his indenture was sold to Caleb Pusey where he learned a trade at Pusey's mill on Chester Creek, Chester Co]

Between 1693 and 1697, Maurice Trent appeared in the courts of Chester and Bucks counties in with at least 112 Scottish child servants without indentures, both male and female.

At the end of Mary Royle's 5 year indenture, about 1702/03, she married William Coale and had two children before his death about Apr 1710 in Nottingham. He mentions in his Will #167 [PA Will Bk C, pg 210] his wife Mary and children William (b. 5mo/Jul 9, 1705) and Mary Coale (b. 3mo/May 4, 1708).

Mary (Royle) Coale then married 2nd Jeremiah Brown (1687-1767) and had 4 more children, Patience, Jeremiah, Joshua and Isaac Brown. Mary died about 1748 as Jeremiah Brown then married Mary Winter on 5mo/Jul 20, 1749 at Nottingham Mtg. The marriage record is extant and the witness list shows his son Isaac + Lydia (Slater) Brown and his step-daughter Mary (Coale) and husband Henry Reynolds, among others.

Jeremiah Brown Senr and 2nd wife Mary (Winter) had one son Stephen. His death is recorded by Nottingham Mtg wherein it states: ?Stephen Brown, son of Jeremiah Brown Senr and half-brother to Jeremiah Brown Junr departed this life the 24 of the 11th month 1754.? This provides evidence that Jeremiah Junr and Stephen did not share the same mother.

Jeremiah Brown died on 7 Mar 1767 at West Nottingham and left his will dated 21 Dec 1762 [Chester Will Bk D, Vol 4, pg 645]. He names the 4 children had by his first wife Mary (Royle) - Patience (Brown) Hadley, Joshua and Isaac - and heirs of his deceased son Jeremiah Brown Junr.

Mary (Winter) Brown died on 19 Nov 1769 at West Nottingham and left her will dated 9 Nov 1769 wherein she mentions her "beloved step-grandson Stephen, son of Isaac Brown". This provides further evidence that she is not one and the same as his first wife Mary (Royle) Coale in that she further devised "To Mary, wife of Henry Reynolds, a case of drawers which was her mothers."

The above daughter is Mary Coale, b. 1708; she married Jacob Haines on 2mo/Apr 22, 1725 and they had 8 children before Jacob died in 1742 [Chester Will Bk B, pg 116]. Mary, now Haines, married Henry Reynolds in Jun 1743 and had 5 more sons. Henry Reynolds died 17 Dec 1779.

I have some more research to do regarding Henry Reynolds as it appears he was married 3 times - Hannah Brown in 1717; Ann Worley in 1733; then Mary Coale in 1743, the daughter of Mary Royle.

An interesting connection here is that Henry Reynold?s 2nd wife Ann (Worley) Howell, was the granddaughter of Anne (Stone) Worley (1645-1726). Ann (Stone) Worley was the 2nd wife of Caleb Pusey (1650-1727) ? the same man that purchased Mary Royle?s indenture in 1697 as well as many of these ?stolen? Scottish children. It would appear that Caleb Pusey cared for these children and helped them to attain a better future in a strange land after being taken from their homelands.

Died:
a year later Jeremiah went on to marry 2nd wife.
