  Anne Washburn May 5, 2026, 10:56?AM to me Hello, I tried to send this message as a suggestion on Oney's page but it couldn't be sent, for some reason. https://reynoldspatova.org/getperson.php?personID=I9704&tree=reynolds1 The Jesse Reynolds who married Oney did not die in 1836. He died in early 1829 in Patrick Co., VA. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9TC-F3RF-6?view=fullText&keywords=Jesse%20Reynolds&lang=en&groupId=M9V3-13P (Bill of sale of Jesse Reynolds Dec?ds property sold 23rd Feb 1829) (Micajah Martin among purchasers) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9PX-GNHJ?view=fullText&keywords=Patrick%2CJesse%20Reynolds&lang=en&groupId=M9V3-RHV (Patrick Co., March Ct., 1829, Oney Reynolds is widow, alloted dower) This also means that the Jesse Reynolds who applied for a Rev. War pension in 1832 Bedford Co. cannot have been the same man. This misinformation is all over the internet!! I am not related to these folks but am working with a descendant on her tree and I discovered this problem while trying to document this Jesse and Oney, and herself as nee Bright.
