Abram D. Reynolds began seven months at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia in the summer of 1863, but appeared unannounced at home in March 1864 saying he had been dismissed. Reynolds, now 17, qualified for service in the ever-expanding age ranges for Confederate soldiers. He rode to Taylorsville, gave a rousing speech and in an election as company captain defeated a John Stovall, who campaigned with a ten-gallon jug of apple brandy. Reynolds entered Company I, Fifth Battalion Virginia Reserves. By September, Reynolds (recently promoted to major) commanded 66 men.
On the night of March 27, 1865, Abram Reynolds assisted William T. Akers, former Major of the 51st Virginia Infantry, in handling some ?very dangerous characters? on Shooting Creek near the border with Franklin County. Reynolds approached the home of the suspects with Samuel A. Penn, formerly of the 42nd Virginia Infantry, and Thompson Washburn, formerly of the 51st Virginia Infantry. Reynolds and Washburn entered the home in front with Penn directly behind. At that moment Sheriff Turner, not recognizing them, encountered the party attempting to take the same prisoners and ordered them to halt. When Reynolds and Penn raised their arms, Turner mistakenly fired at the party wounding Reynolds in the shoulder. ?Poor Sam Penn? took the entire load of buckshot in the chest and yelled ?Oh Lord, I am killed by one of my friends.? Reynolds lost the use of his right arm for many years.
After the close of the war, officials in Richmond appointed Sheriff Turner as Provost Marshall. Turner organized two companies under command of Reynolds and Penn with ?authority to organize a military court to try these marauders and execute or imprison them.? The county ordered the sheriff to organize militia ?for the purpose of suppressing the lawless outrages now being committed. The county stipulated, however, that this militia was ?not intended to interfere in any manner with the authority of the United States or any other legitimate state of Federal Government.?
Abram Reynolds gathered men to break up the camp of ?Major? Scott and 300 men at Martha Brown?s home. Scott had raided the home of Mrs. George Hylton, who had just delivered twins. Reynolds?s memoir states:
