  Married	William Reynolds married Margaret Patterson 1 Jan 1754. We first find William noted as Freeman on the Martock, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania tax list in 1751. We next find him in Muddy Run meeting house in Lancaster, Co. upon his marriage to Margaret Patterson. [recorded by the Rev. John Cuthbertson] Births of the children of William and Margaret Patterson Reynolds are also recorded by the Rev. Cuthbertson. John Reynolds, baptized Apr 1760, William baptized Apr 1758, and Joseph, Apr 1763. The records are all noted for April, which suggests the 'meeting' was held in the same place annually. Both brothers are present for the 1757 tax list in Lancaster Co. in 1757 tax list enumerated by Hugh Long. No record is to be found for either Hugh or William in Lancaster after 1757. William's brother Hugh Reynolds is also first located in Martock when he is shown as Freeman in 1756. His marriage to Mary Neeley is also by the Rev. John Cuthbertson 30 Dec 1756, as is the baptism of Hugh and Mary Neeley Reynolds' child, Joseph baptized 15 Aug 1759. William Reynolds, brother to Joseph of Pittsylvania joins the Revolution effort after his father and brother. He is named beneficiary and executor of the will of William Neeley, his grandfather, in 1788, Pittsylvania County, Virginia and pays taxes on the land he inherited from William Neeley until 1833.
