      Reynolds

      Select Reynolds Surname Genealogy

      The name Reynolds was a Norman import to England, from Reginald or in Old French Reinold. The earlier root is the Old Norse Rognvaldr, comprised of the elements ragin meaning "counsel" and wald meaning "rule." Reynold was a Viking leader who harried the English and Irish shores in the 10th century.

      Name variants have included Reynold and Reynell. The Irish MacRaghnaill derives from the Gaelic of Randal or Reginald. This name became anglicized to Reynolds.

      England. The Reynolds name first appeared in Somerset where they were granted lands after the Norman Conquest in 1066. William filius Raunaldi is recorded in the Domesday Book.
      SW England. A Reynell family originally from Cambridgeshire transplanted themselves to Devon in the 14th century where they were substantial landowners. They were described as "men of great credit, fidelity, and service to their kings, country and state in peace and in war." Both the Reynell and Reynolds names were to be found in Devon. A Reynolds family in Plympton produced the great 18th century portrait painter Sir Joshua Reynolds.
      The naval Reynolds came from Cornwall. They made their home in the late 18th century at Penair near Truro. And the Reynolds name was also prominent in tin mining at St. Agnes, starting possibly with William Reynolds who was born there in the 1680?s.
      Owen Reynolds, a yeoman farmer from Melcombe in Dorset, was five times its mayor in the 1550?s. His nephew Edward benefited from the patronage of the Earl of Essex and died in 1623 in London a rich man.
      Kent. A Reynolds line dating back to the 16th century in East Bergholt in Kent included descendants who were among the early immigrants to America. From a later naval family came George Reynolds who got himself involved in the Chartist movement in the 1840's. He founded a radical newspaper, Reynolds's Weekly Newspaper, which became popular. The paper continued in a different guise as Reynolds News until 1967.
      East Anglia. The birth of Thomas Reynolds was recorded at Great Chesterford in northern Essex in 1569. He appeared in court in 1598 after a brawl with a neighbor. One family history dates back to the marriage of James Reynolds and Susannah Wood at Little Bardfield in 1711. In the churchyard of the nearby village of Great Sampford there are a number of Reynolds gravestones of the late 18th and 19th centuries.
      Just across the border into Cambridgeshire were the Reynolds of Castle Camps and the Reynolds of Leverington:
      Sir James Reynolds, a Cromwellian general, had taken a lease on the Castle Camps estate as a safe retreat for his family during the Civil War. His grandson Sir James was appointed Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in 1727.
      While Richard Reynolds was rector of Leverington near Wisbech in the 1670?s. His son Richard, born there, became the Bishop of Lincoln. He acquired Paxton Hall in Huntingdonshire in 1730 where the family remained for several generations.
      Lancashire. There was a Reynolds family in Lancashire which inherited the Strangeways estate near Manchester in 1711. Francis Reynolds from this family distinguished himself in naval actions in the West Indies and later took over the family estates at Tortworth in Gloucestershire (his home there is now a country house hotel).
      Lancashire received an influx of Irish Reynolds in the 19th century. Mary Reynolds from Mohill in county Leitrim settled her young family in Manchester after the death of her husband during the famine years. Her letters recently published, The Reynolds Letters: An Irish Emigrant Family in Late Victorian Manchester, present a story of Irish immigrants making good in industrial England at that time.
      Ireland. The Reynolds name came to Ireland at the time of Strongbow in the 1200's. These English invaders took the titles of Earls of Cavan, Lisburne and Mountmorris. A later English invasion in the 17th century gave rise to the Reynells from Devon of Reynell castle. However, the largest numbers of Reynolds have been home-grown. From early times the lands around Lough Rynn in county Leitrim were owned and settled by the MacRaghnaill clan. Sean na gCeann or John of the Heads, so called for beheading his rebellious clansmen, was their chief in the late 1500's.
      The next century saw the English taking over Leitrim and the Irish, including the McRaghnaills, being gradually pushed out. A second exodus occurred at the time of the potato famine. Even so, nearly half of the Reynolds in Ireland today come from Leitrim. The Irish Prime Minister Albert Reynolds was born in nearby Roscommon.
      Portugal. A Reynolds family from Kent has been in Portugal since 1820, first as cork importers and then as wine producers.
      America. The English Reynolds in America came first. Early Reynolds settlers in New England were Robert and Mary Reynolds and their four children who got there in 1630. Christopher Reynolds from Gravesend in Kent arrived in Virginia in 1622 on the Francis and John. Their family line is documented in Stephen Tilman's 1959 book, The Rennolds-Reynolds of Virginia and England. [Beware of this reference-mfe]
      Members of this family were subsequently involved in the freighting business in upstate New York. They later moved west:
      P.G. Reynolds became a mail contractor and stage operator in Dodge City for the trails heading south to the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. His brother Milton, who adopted the writing name of Kicking Bird, covered Indian council meetings as a roving reporter and became an advocate for Western settlement.
      another Milton Reynolds, but of German origin, introduced the first ballpoint pen to an unsuspecting public in 1945.

      Abraham Reynolds was a poor tobacco farmer in Virginia in the early 1800's. His son Hardin started a plantation at Rock Spring in Patrick county. Hardin's son RJ, the second of sixteen children born there, embarked on a plan to build his own tobacco factory at Winston Salem. It was he who developed the huge tobacco empire that is RJ Reynolds.

      Irish. Irish Reynolds also came to America. John Reynolds arrived in Virginia in the 1770's. His descendants moved onto Kentucky and Missouri. Robert and Margaret Reynolds from Louth reached Tennessee in 1784 and then continued to Illinois. Their son John rose to be the fourth governor of that state. Nineteenth century arrivals were more numerous. And many Reynolds went to Canada at that time as well.

      Canada. Early arrivals had been Empire Loyalists, such as William Reynolds, leaving America after the Revolutionary War. William had been a coronet in the British army and led a group of Loyalists out of New York in 1796. He and his family ended up in Dorchester (near London), Ontario.

      Bernard and Mary Reynolds came in the late 1830's from county Leitrim and settled in Renfrew county, Ontario. Other Reynolds followed, from both England and Ireland, as the 19th century proceeded.

      South Africa. In 1850 two Devon farmers, Thomas and Lewis Reynolds, set off on the Justina for South Africa to seek their fortunes (their uncle Charles had previously emigrated to Australia). The brothers' business took them to sugar refining in Natal. But it was the next generation - Frank and Charles Reynolds - who are generally considered as the founders of South Africa's sugar industry. Frank built the family home of Lynton Hall at Pennington on the south coast. It now operates as a luxury hotel.

      Australia. Two brothers, Richard and Edward Reynolds, were convicted of petty theft in Chelmsford and were transported to Australia in 1791. They were educated and literate and Edward kept a diary of the hardships of the journey. The brothers later surfaced in Hawkesbury, NSW. Richard petitioned for a land grant:

      "The petitioner arrived in this colony on the Atlantic in 1791, has been free about 28 years, has endured all the hardships to which and infant colony could subject him, and has reared a family of ten children to the habits of industry."

      His petition was successful. He died in Wilberforce in 1837 and left a large number of descendants.

      John Reynell from Devon was an early settler in South Australia. He came in 1838 and started the first commercial vineyard in the colony. Meanwhile Thomas and Mary Reynolds arrived in Western Australia from Oxfordshire in 1842. Their descendants are still to be found there. Charles Reynolds from Devon came to Tocal in the Hunter valley in 1844 and worked there until his death in 1871. In his time he was recognized an an expert on horse and cattle breeding in New South Wales.

      12. JOSEPH REYNOLDS (Joseph, James) b. about 1672-3; d. April 1722 in North Kingstown. He marriedabout 1696 SUSANNAH BABCOCK, b. in Westerly, R.I. 167-, d. in Exeter 174-. She m. (2) Nov. 7, 1723 in East Greenwich, Robert Spencer by whom she had no children, she being his third wife. Susannah was the daughter of John and Mary (Lawton) Babcock. Despite diligent searches through the Rhode Island records, no information has come to light that would provide evidence that the surname of Joseph's wife Susannah was "Babcock." Although the information about Susannah Babcock has been left in this articleas originally presented, it is important for Reynolds researchers to have an understanding of the extant records before accepting the Babcock theory. The following excerpt is from an article written by Stephen C. Roth:"Joseph married in about 1696 at Westerly RI to Susannah Babcock, daughter of John and Mary (Lawton) Babcock, according to both the 1922 RFA article by Henry Reynolds, and the 1930/31 RFA Annual article by Dr. Sheridan Gardiner."The immense Babcock family history, Babcock Family, by Stephen Babcock, published in 1903, lists Ann Babcock as a daughter of John and Mary Babcock and gives her birth year as 1665 (?). Stephen Babcock notes that the birth year of 1665 is not exact. Henry Reynolds in the 1922 Annual states that Susannah Babcock is in fact the Ann Babcock listed in Babcock Family(with the presumption that Ann is a shortened form of Susannah)."Henry Reynolds suggests that she was actually born sometime after 1665, perhaps in the early 1670s. Unfortunately the Babcock genealogy does not carry the line of this Ann forward, so an independent check of the Babcock family tie to the Reynolds cannot be undertaken. Ann is listed as the second child of John and Mary Babcock in Babcock Family. John Babcock died intestate andthis list of children is taken from a will drawn up by the Westerly Town Council to settle John's estate."James Babcock is listed as the first child, and it is known that he was in fact the eldest child of John and Mary. A presumption must be made here that the list of children is in order of their birth. If this presumption is followed, then the 1665 birth year given would be accurate based on birth dates of the following children on the list."Since Henry Reynolds was aware of the Babcock genealogy, it is puzzling as to why he didn't offer an explanation as to how he arrived at a birth year of the early 1670s as opposed to 1665. It should also be noted that it would seem that an official document such as a will would list the formalnames of John Babcock's
      466children. The fact that Ann is listed instead of Susannah raises some doubts as to Henry Reynolds' and Dr. Gardiner's assertion that Joseph's wife Susannah was in fact a Babcock. It is unfortunate that they do not address this matter more fully, and their original source records could shed some valuable light on this puzzle."From Joseph's will and other records, there is no doubt that his wife was named Susannah. Joseph names wife Susannah and "loving brother[-in-law] Job Babcock" as executors of his estate. There is no doubt that this Job Babcock was a son of John and Mary Babcock. On the surface it would appear that this statement would offer the proof that Susannah was also a daughter of John and Mary Babcock based on the "brother-in-law" reference. However it has to be remembered that Job Babcock married Joseph's sister, Deborah, so he was also Joseph's brother-in-law via that connection..."When Joseph Reynolds became of age about 1692 he was the eldest grandson of James Reynolds, the first settler. It had apparently been customary to make provision for the various sons of the family as they became of age ormarried. Nearly all of them received portions of land in that way. Following this custom we have shown how on Feb. 25, 1683/4 James Reynolds had made a deed of gift of the 100 acres of his homestead farm which lay northeast of the little stream which ran through the property into the Potowomut River, to his eldest surviving son James Reynolds [East Greenwich Land Ev., Vol. 1, p. 59]. The oldest son John had been killed by the Indians in 1675. In 1692 evidently JamesReynolds had no issue living and did not expect that he would have any more children. This meant that Joseph Reynolds was the direct male successor of his grandfather. Probably the matter of wills and disposition of property were discussed at length at that time, since we find that on Oct. 15, 1692 the same day that James Reynolds Sr. made his will, James Reynolds Jr. made a deed of the aforesaid 100 acres to "Joseph Ronolds, sonn of my Loving Brother Joseph Ronolds" by the terms of which deed it gave possession of the property conveyed immediately after the grantor's decease "if he die without issue." [East Greenwich Land Ev., Vol. 1, p. 85] James Jr.'s wife Mary (Greene) is also given a life estate in the property conveyed but does not join in signing the deed. This would have kept that part of the original homestead farm in the hands of the prospective head of the family. These sentimental feelings, however, do not appear tohave weighed strongly with Joseph since, on June 13, 1712 (or June 12, 1713), when he desired to make another purchase, he sold this land to Jonathan Hill of Providence [North Kingstown Land Ev., Vol. 2, p. 226]. The deed is made by Joseph Reynolds, "husbandman" and wife Susannah, and the description reads: Easterly upon... Southerly upon a Brook that runs between the ... land of Francis Reynolds, Westerly upon the river ... river, alias Mill River, Northerly upon the ... land of John Gould. Apparently therefore his uncle James had died by that time without issue. This shows that the long lists of children attributed to James by Austin and others are wrong. It also shows how this part of the old homestead farm went out of the family. Of course Joseph had established his own homestead in the western part of the 727-acre plot which he had bought with his father, his brother Robert, and Wm. Bentley from the colony agents on June 3, 1709. He had become interested in his own developments and the old farm on Potowomut Neck was some miles away. It was no more than natural that he would rather have his land holdings more consolidated and accessible from where he lived. So we find that about the same time he sold these 100 acres at Potowomut he bought 200 acres nearer his new home from his brother Robert Reynolds. These 200 acres lay to the west ofJoseph's homestead with only one or two farms intervening and therefore much handier for farming. The description of these 200 acres in deed from Robert to Joseph is: Land for ... belonging to Jeremiah Hazard bounded, viz., Beginning at the southeast corner which is a Stake near ... to extend the course and distance according to one Platt of said land and ...ford of Newport, Surveyor, on the twentieth day of June, one ...ed and ten, reference being thereto had [North Kingstown Land Ev., Vol. 2, p. 239]. This was part of a 7,000-acre tract of land bought by Robert Reynolds in partnership with seventeen others from the colony agents on May 17, 1710. The bounds of this 7,000-acre purchase were: West on Squamicut jurisdiction and part on vacant land, North on New Country Road, East on Pettasquamscutt Purchase, South on Stanton and Hall Purchases [R.I. Hist. Soc. Coll., Vol. 3, p. 218]. A few years later on March 13, 1717, Thomas Eldred and wife Susannah sold to "Joseph Reynolds, son
      467of Joseph Reynolds, Sr., for the sum of £38, 100 acres bounded: On North on New Country Road and partly on the Great Purchase ...in the Township of East Greenwich, on the West by a road, on South by land belonging to ..., on East by Pettasquamscutt Line. [North Kingstown Land Ev., Vol. 4, p. 2] The latter boundary in this instance means the head line of the Pettasquamscutt Purchase, or rather its extension which was likewise the westerly boundary of Joseph Reynolds homestead farm. Thus he acquired other additional land adjoining or adjacent to his own home. On May 6, 1712, "Joseph Runnall, Jr.," and his brother "Robert Runnall, and James Runnall, son of Francis, all of Kingstown" were admitted freemen by the General Assembly [R.I. Col. Recs., Vol. 4, p. 141]. Joseph Reynolds died in April1722, some years before his father (1739). This fact, as has been mentioned, has caused considerable confusion to genealogical searchers. His will, dated April 6, 1722, was proved before the end of the month, thus pretty well fixing the date of his death [North Kingstown Probate Records, Vol. 6, p. 81]. He names as executors "my wife Susannah and my loving brother Job Babcock" so called both because he was the brother of Joseph's wife, Susannah Babcock, and because he was the husband of Joseph's sister, Deborah. The property left to sons Joseph and John was the 200-acre farm bought of Robert in 1712 or 1713. The property left to sons George and Samuel was the 100 acres bought from the Eldreds in 1717 and the homestead farm in the 727-acre purchase. Some tradition seems to persist of a life estate to the widow, but nothingsuch is legible in the will and no provision is made for a remainder. Susannah Babcock, the wife of Joseph Reynolds, was the daughter of John and Mary (Lawton) Babcock. She was born in Westerly, R.I. where her father was one of the first settlers. There is a romantic legend, probably all fiction, of her parents running away and living among the Indians for two years on the site of Westerly before any other white people camethere. The name Susannah is given as Ann in the list of John Babcock's children in the Babcock Genealogy (p. 12). She is there placed as the second child born in 1665, but most likely was born later. About a year and ahalf after her husband's death Susannah married, on Nov. 7, 1723 Robert Spencer who was then himself a widower and the father of thirteen children. One of these thirteen children, Joanna Spencer, later married George Reynolds, one of Susannah's eight children. We have noted that this Robert Spencer made out the inventory of old Joseph Reynolds' estate, together with Susannah's son, John Reynolds. Susannah Babcock was descended on her mother's side from George Lawton and Thomas Hazard, both conspicuous in the early history of Portsmouth and Newport. George Lawton is said to have come to New England from Yorkshire, England in 1634. He soon went to Rhode Island and was admitted an inhabitant of the island of Aquidneck in 1638. He took an active part in the local government, and was deputy to the Assembly six times between 1665 and 1680, and one of the "Governor's Assistant" nine times between 1680 and 1690. On Aug. 31, 1671, the Assembly ordered that a meeting of the town council be held at his house and a council of war of the two towns on Sep. 5, following [R.I. Col. Recs., Vol.2, p. 546]. He died Oct. 5, 1693 and was buried in his orchard at Portsmouth [Austin, Gen. Dict. of R.I., p. 121; "Babcock's Genealogy" (1909) by Cyrus H. Brown, p. 545]. Thomas Hazard was in Boston, Mass. as early as 1635, but came to Rhode Island and was admitted as an inhabitant of the island of Aquidneck in the same year as George Lawton. He was one of the founders of Newport. His will made Nov. 13, 1676, left everything to his "beloved yoke fellow Martha Hazard" except that his children were given one shilling apiece [Austin, p. 320; "Hazard Family of R.I." (1895) by Caroline E. Robinson, pp. 1,2]. THE WILL OF JOSEPH REYNOLDS North Kingston Probate Records Vol. 6, p. 81 ... and Providence Plantation ... weak in body butt of Perfect ...
