  [S40] Will. This John of Culpepper, son of John and Jennett Reynolds is proved in his father's Will. [S160] Correspondence. I had forgotten about Jesse Reynolds and Sarah Brown. My John Reynolds 1758 was Jesse's brother. By Sterling Price Reynolds For Edgar Clatterbuck Son of Richard Payne Clatterbuck and Nannie Jane Holt. Note: This came to me several years ago, I believe from my grandfather's papers. It is mostly accurate, although I have made a few notes where is is incorrect. I found it particularly interesting coming from a family member. I am not a Reynolds, but they intermarried freely with the Clatterbucks, as you will see. -Cathy In 1785 John Reynolds who is my great great grandfather was living in Halifax County, Virginia. [There is a John Rennolds on the 1785 Census for Halifax County. There is no way to tell if this John Rennolds is the s/o Martha Cole.(His mother and father migrate from Culpeper to Pittsylvania County) John Rennolds of Halifax has not been identified)] He had two sons, James and William. Tradition in the family says he came to Halifax Co, Virginia from Culpepper Co, VA. We are said to be of Scotch-Irish extraction. The heavy emigration of Scotch-Irish to America went largely to Pennsylvania and Maryland and thence spread southward through Virginia into the Carolinas and even Georgia. The John Reynolds above (I don't know date of his birth or death, was living from 1785 to 1804(?) in Halifax Co, VA.) Tradition say he was from Culpepper Co, VA and that his father was named John. Beginning with the John at top of the page who was probably born about 1745-1755 the line runs as follows. John Reynolds of Halifax Co, Virginia and wife had two children; James Reynolds born March 9th, 1777 and died November 8th 1851. He left Va. And went to Tennessee, from Tennessee emigrated to Missouri near St. Joseph in 18?and raised a large family with descendants scattered over Northwest Missouri. He was a soldier in the war of 1812. William Reynolds son of the above John, was born October 1, 1781, and died June 6, 1837. He married Lucy E. Holt, daughter of Timothy Holt, in Halifax CO, VA. December 20, 1801. I found the record of this marriage in Houston (Old Halifax Court House) when I was there in 1912. Their children were: John Reynolds who married Viney Newman born December 31, 1804 and died in March 1881. They were my grandparents. Martha Reynolds born June 30, 1806, died June 1, 1831 married Joe K. Reynolds (my note: this is incorrect, it should be John Clatterbuck) Fannie (Francis) (My note: This should be Lucy Reynolds) who married James Holt, her 1st cousin. Their children were: Timothy Holt and 2 girls (next sentence was crossed out) one married Waller Clatterbuck (Francis) and one married a Nevins. There were others. Children of William Reynolds and his wife Lucy continued Annie Reynolds born March 23, 1813, died June 21, 1872, married Richard Clatterbuck-these are of course your grandfather and grandmother. Bedford Reynolds born May 4, 1809, died April 11, 1891. He married Elizabeth Holt and lived near Holts Summit and had a large family. There seems to have been two other children, Elizabeth and Anna who probably died in infancy. This family, (William and Lucy Reynolds) moved from Virginia to Callaway CO, Mo, in 1828 and lived about 2 to 3 miles north of Holts Summit on the old Paris road that passes by Prospect Church. They are buried in the Old Prospect Church graveyard. [S18] Family Search, LDS, https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/G77J-41L/john-reynolds-1748-1795.
