PATRIOT Hugh of Pittsylvania [dna] Reynolds^{[1, 2, 3, 4]}

Est 1740 - Abt 1810  (~ 70 years)

• Name	Hugh of Pittsylvania [dna] Reynolds
  	Hugh Reynolds is found on the tax lists of Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania along with a William Reynolds who comes of age a year or two before Hugh. Hugh and the Nealeys and Devins whose families intermarry in Virginia is likely a brother of this William Reynolds who marries Margaret Patterson in Lancaster, PA, and is recorded in the diaries of the Rev. John Cuthbertson. The dna matches to this Reynolds line suggest that William migrated to the area near Ohio or the mid-west. Further research finds Neelys in Rowan County, NC and Statesville, NC., as well as in Martock, Lancaster, PA. https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Reynolds%20Surname%20Y-DNA%20Study?iframe=ycolorized Family Group R.17 (R-269) 207109 Reynolds Hugh Reynolds b. abt 1740- d. 1810 R-FT248834 13 23 13 10 11-14 12 12 11 13 13 29 17 9-9 11 11 25 15 20 29 15-15-18-18 10 11 19-22 15 14 16 17 37-37 11 13 11 9 16-16 8 10 10 8 10 10 12 23-23 16 10 13 12 15 8 12 22 20 14 12 11 13 11 11 13 12 36 15 9 16 12 26 26 19 12 11 13 12 10 9 12 12 10 11 11 30 12 12 24 12 10 10 19 15 17 14 24 16 12 15 24 12 25 18 10 14 17 9 12 11

• Notes

  See Pittsylvania County, VA Landowners Per 1797 Land Tax: Transcribed by Mary Leigh Boisseau: Lists Hugh Reynolds as owing 2 parcels of land; the first, 105 acres and the second 65 acres. If, Hugh Reynolds, father of Joseph and William, and husband of Mary Nealey Reynolds had died by 1797, he would not have been on this taxables list. Hugh Reynolds, his grandson, s/o Joseph and Peggy Devin Reynolds would only be 17 years old in 1797; therefore this list must refer to Hugh, the original settler in Pittsylvania County. 3 Aug 1771 Va Patent Bk. 40 p. 551, Pittsylvania Co., Hugh Reynolds received patent for 298 acres on waters of Banister River adjoining land of Nealy & Roberts (Doc. 1140) Hugh Reynolds, William Devin, and William Neely are found on the same tax lists in 1757-1759 of Martock 'Martic', Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Records for Hugh's marriage to Mary Neeley are found in the Rev. Cuthbertson diaries and document the marriage of Hugh, as well as the Baptism of Joseph, and William, his eldest son. Birth record has been located for the birth of William, who is named in the Will of his grandfather, William Neeley, and left William his land, in 1791. Joseph, the 2nd son, was already married to Margaret Devin and was left his grandfather's other possessions. The Mother of these children is also named in this will as 'Mary Reynolds'. In the Cuthbertson records, she is seen as Mary K. FIRST ORDERS OF PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY, VIRGINIA 15 Apr 1783 WILLIAM REYNOLDS is exempted from Levies (William of Culpepper Reynolds) 16 May 1785 HUGH REYNOLDS COB5/51 - Hugh Reynolds is exempted from payment of Livies 15 Sep 1788 WILLIAM REYNOLDS Qualified as Executor of the Will of his grandfather, William Nealey. (Book 6/170 1787-91 Court Orders) Pittsylvania Co., VA (Young William of Hugh) 17 Jul 1791 WILLIAM REYNOLDS order to Record Will 20 Feb 1792 WILLIAM REYNOLDS order to Record Inventory 22 Mar 1796 WILLIAM REYNOLDS, Plaintiff, Lewis Charles, Defendant (Young William of Hugh) -There are two William Reynolds here; William 'of Culpepper' is the elder and the young man William Reynolds is the grandson of William Nealey and the son of Hugh Reynolds and Mary Nealey. -William 'of Culpepper' Reynolds died in 1791, so the two entries in this record in 1791 and 1792 may apply (probably do) to the elder William or his son, William. The William of Culpepper family lived on the opposite side of the County; to date, 2017, there is no evidence that the two Reynolds families are related or intermarried. In 1782, the General Assembly of Virginia enacted new legislation providing for the enumeration of the owners of real property in each county. The owner's of each parcel of land were recorded. If a person owned more than one parcel, his name appeared multiple times, one for each tract of land he owned. Hugh Reynolds appears on the 1782 land tax list of Pittsylvania County, VA with 65 acres of land. This is the parcel which he purchased from William Nealey in 1774. For the next three years, only revisions to the land tax list were recorded. From 1786 forward, the list included all properties, not just the revisions from previous years. From 1786 to 1809 Hugh Reynolds appears on the land tax list with two parcels, one of 65 acres and the other of 105 acres. In the 1810 list William Reynolds, son of Hugh, is listed as the owner of these two parcels. This shows that Hugh Reynolds died between the dates of these two tax lists. On 04 Nov 1774 Hugh Reynolds bought 57 acres on the south side of Tomahawk Creek in Pittsylvania County, Virginia from William Nealey. (DB 4/91). This is probably the same tract of land listed as 65 acres on the land tax list from 1782 through 1809. After his death, this land went to his son, William Reynolds. ********** "His requests for land patents (almost 1200 acres) are recorded in the Land Entry Book, 1737-1770. He may not have received all this land, but it proves he was living here in order to request the surveys." - Anna Evans 1993 Lineages ********* On 15 Apr 1783 Hugh Reynolds bought 105 acres on Tomahawk Creek from Killian Kreek for 15 pounds. This is the 105 acre tract shown on the land tax list from 1786 through 1809. At his death, this property went to his son, William Reynolds.

  [S226] Diary of Rev. John Cuthbertson. Mary married Hugh Reynolds at Wm. Neiley's, 30 Dec 1756 by Rev. John Cuthbertson at Muddy Run Meeting House at Wm. Neily's Place. He later records the Baptism of son, Joseph on 15 Aug 1759. Hugh Reynolds was a member of the Muddy Run Society, a congregation of Covenanters in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Rev. John Cuthbertson was the first Covenanter missionary to America in 1751. He kept a diary of his activities from the first day of his arrival in America. On 30 Dec 1756, he recorded the following, "Rode 6 miles to and from Wm. Neilie's; married Hew Reynolds and Mary K." [S88] Bennett Twins . Conversation with Don Bennett: 1. From 1787 on, the tax lists for Pittsylvania County were divided into two lists, A & B basically representing the northern and southern parts of the county. Any year will do, but I will use 1790 to make this point. The tax list 1790A shows in order William Reynolds, Jesse Reynolds, and Richard Reynolds. This is the William who died in 1791. After Richard Reynolds name is the notation (Burch Creek). This is where this family lived about where modern day Kentuck is in the southeastern part of the county. List 1790B show Hugh Reynolds, William Reynolds, and Joseph Reynolds. This is the family of Hugh Reynolds and they live in the western part of the county. These are two different, probably unrelated, families. 2. In his will, William Nealey left his personal property to grandson, Joseph, and his real property to his grandson, William. William Nealey appears on the land tax list through 1788 with 50 acres of land. In 1789, William Nealey is absent and the land is owned by William Reynolds. William Reynolds continues to appear on the land tax lists through 1833. 3. This point will also give the date of death of Hugh Reynolds. The Devintimber website notes that Hugh Reynolds appears on the land tax list in 1797 with two tracts of land of 65 and 105 acres. This is true. In actually first appears on the tax list with these two tracts of land in 1786 and continues on the tax list through 1810. In 1811, these two tracts of land are owned by William Reynolds, the same William Reynolds who inherited the 50 acres from William Neally. From 1811 to 1833, William continued to be on the tax list with three tracts of land, 50, 65, and 105 acres. So, William Reynolds inherited his father's land after his death in 1810.

Providence Township was formed from Martic Township in 1853, there is material on early Providence Township here as well. MARTIC TOWNSHIP Geographical and Topographical-Martic township is situated in the southwestern part of Lancaster County. It was organized as a township in 1729, the organization being ratified in 1730. It is bounded as follows: north by the Pequea Creek, which separates it from Pequea township; northeast by Providence; east by Providence and Drumore; southeast and south by Drumore; west by the Susquehanna River. It derives its name from a small tribe of Indians who inhabited the township in the neighborhood of the mouth of Pequea Creek. It is one of the six townships into which Lancaster County was originally divided, and is spelled upon the old records "Martock." [S61] United States Census, 1785 Virginia, Prince Edward County .
