      Comments (Cornelius4 s/o William Reynolds b. Est 1740 Virginia Colony d. Bef 1815 Caroline Co., Virginia): Thank you so much for all this information. I would like to make a correction - Caty Reynolds who married ? Thurston was a daughter of William Reynolds and Sarah mnu. This family moved to Shelby County, Kentucky. Caty married at least two more times - Ezekiel Talbot and Robert Owen
