    • On November 14, 1883 when Daddy was nearly 22 and Mother was sixteen, they were married at her home, "The Elms" near what is now Renan. Mother's family had moved from the Greenpond-Hollywood neighborhood to Renan in 1882. The first year of their marriage, Daddy and Mother lived with his mother, Betsy Blair Reynolds, and farmed with her. The next year, they moved to the land Grandfather Brumfield had given them at Renan. The home they built was located below what later became the highway. Mother had wanted to be on high ground, however, the house was placed just a few yards from one of the best springs anywhere around and, in the days when water was brought in by bucketsful and a springhouse was the only means of cooling food, having a spring nearby was a real asset.

      The Reynolds Family by Christine Reynolds Stone, direct descendant. Christine made this memoir and published it before computers and programs to manage the texts. She descends from Keen Johnson Reynolds, s/o William Garrett Reynolds. Much of her information is correct; but she missed the lineage on the earliest immigrant, Hugh Reynolds; Christine followed Stephen Frederick Tillman's account of the Reynolds and was misled to David Reynolds when the ancestor was Hugh Reynolds, Father of Joseph and William.
