    John married Ann Mrs. John Brown. Ann was born Est 1760; died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    Jessey is the spelling found in William's Will. 'Jesse'
    is found on marriage bonds and other documents.
    All of these families lived in the southeastern quadrant
    of Pittsylvania County, Virginia.
    Of the large family of William and Martha Reynolds, only
    one son remained in this county {Pittsylvania} to carry on the name. This was Jesse. He had eight daughters who were married in Pittsylvania County.
    ****************

    From the book The Rennolds- Reynolds Family of England and
    Virginia by Stephen Frederick Tillman

    page 118.
    1112 Jesse Reynolds, son of David Reynolds, [incorrect! his father is William as shown in Jesse's Application for Benefits] b.1754,[ic:16 May 1754] who m. Sarah [Brown]-. He served in the Rev. War with the Va. State Line(AG 50152) and then settled in Henrico County, Va and then Pittsylvania Co.,VA. Mrs. Reynolds d.7-15-1840. Issue:John David [no evidence of son, John David]; Elizabeth who m. 8-14-1819 Champness Evans; Patsey, who m.7-26-1810 Samuel Blair; Nancy who m.9-28-1803 Frederick Brown; Sarah, who m.8-8-1810 David Evans; Judith, who m.9-22-1803 Samuel Matherly; Mary, who m. 1-17-1816 Jesse Pearman; Anne who m.3-16-1812 William Shackleford; Da[n]iel, who m.10-16-1822 Polly Bradley, and settled in NC; Milley, who m.10-12-1810 Vincent Brown.

    Note: Much of the Tillman Record of the Pittsylvania Reynolds has been proven to be incorrect; it seems his assistant was a secretary in the Reynolds Family Association and this Patrick County line is descended from Christopher Reynolds. The Pittsylvania Reynolds line is descended from the Reynolds of Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania or in the Pennsylvania/Maryland region. Evidence of the connection of this William Reynolds of Culpepper and Hugh Reynolds of Muddy Run, Lancaster Pennsylvania has NOT been located to my knowledge. -mary frances reynolds

    Jesse bought the land his father, William left to his
    brothers, Joseph and Richard Cole, in 50 acre parcels in
    1794 after the death of William in 1791.

    Jesse married Sarah Brown 23 Jun 1777, Culpepper Co., Virginia. Sarah (daughter of John Brown and Joan Mrs. John Brown) was born Abt 1760, Culpepper Co., Virginia; died 15 Jul 1840, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. [Group Sheet]


  4. 7.  Sarah Brown was born Abt 1760, Culpepper Co., Virginia (daughter of John Brown and Joan Mrs. John Brown); died 15 Jul 1840, Pittsylvania County, Virginia.

    Notes:

    Sarah Brown is named as the wife of Jesse Runnals in the Application for Benefits of Jesse Runnals.

    Name:
    No doubt in my mind that Sarah Brown, wife of Jessee Reynolds, is related to her daughter, Nancy's husband's family. Nancy's husband, Frederick Brown (Frederick, John, John)is the grandson of John, probably the father of Sarah Brown who married Jesse Reynolds (Runnals). Jesse and his father lived in Culpepper Co., Virginia, before relocating to Pittsylvania Co., Virginia.

    Several deeds located for Culpeper Co., Virginia for this time period name other Reynolds (Runnolds) etc. DB E 1765-69 Page 564-66 shows a John Reynolds on a tract commonly called Mountponey. I googled Mount Poney and found it located in Culpeper Co and and taken off from a church called Mountain Run, in Orange County, Mountpony Church in was constituted in 1768... . It appears that John Reynolds was now living on tht land in 1768...
