News: Looking for females who are in the pure female lines (mother to daughter) from William and Sarah who are willing to do an mtDNA test. Such a person would be descended along an all female line from Mary DEVIN Biggers or Margaret DEVIN Reynolds. The hope is to identify the markers for Sarah SMITH Devin to help identify her parents. Contact the webmaster if interested.

      On this date, the court ordered the inventory and assessment of his estate (source: O. Book 38, page 4.( ?Orphans book?).

      Robert married Susanna Carter on 21 Feb 1820 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A.. Susanna (daughter of Nathan Carter and Elizabeth "Betsy" Adkins) was born on 26 Jul 1804 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A.; died on 24 Apr 1847 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A.. [Group Sheet]

    Generation: 4

    1. 12.  Joseph M. Reynolds was born in 1759 in Muddy Run, Martic, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania; was christened on 15 Aug 1759 in Muddy Run, Martic, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania (son of Hugh Reynolds and Mary Nealey); died about 1820 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A.; was buried in Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A..

      Notes:

      1820 VA Census Pittsylvania County Series M33, Roll40, page 132, shows Joseph, Joseph Jr., Robert, William and Hiram Collins (husband of Matilda, Joseph's daughter with Nancy Ford), i.e., Joseph (married to Nancy Ford in 1820), Joseph Jr. (Peggy Devin's son), William (son of Peggy Devin, husband of Nancy Blair), Robert, (Robert Devin, son of Peggy Devin and husband of Susanna Carter) Hiram Collins married Matilda Reynolds, daughter of Nancy Ford and Joseph Reynolds.


      Oaths of Allegiance 1777 Pittsylvania County, Virginia
      NOTE: Hugh Reynolds and his son Joseph are found on this 1777 list. Hugh's son William, is not. Joseph's Baptism of 15 Aug 1759 gives us his age. If William is the younger son, he may not have been of 'age' at this time. I suspect 16, may have been the age for boys to give their OATH. If so, we may suppose that William, s/o Hugh did not become of 'age' in 1777. William is shown on court records in 1788 when he inherits the land of his grandfather, William Neeley. Both Joseph and William are Qualified as Executors (Book 6/170 Pittsylvania Co., Virginia Court Records 1787-91)
      Another record dated 22 Mar 1796 for William Reynolds and Charles Lewis must be our William, as the other William Reynolds of Culpepper has died in 1791. No connecton has been documented for William of Culpepper having any connection to the Hugh Reynolds family. -Mary Frances Reynolds

      Name:
      Joseph Reynolds is identified as Joseph M. Reynolds on a pay document from the Revolutionary War. We speculate that his middle name is Middleton.
      William Nealy left all the rest of his estate to Joseph who is probably the older brother of William Reynolds who inherited William Nealey's land.

      Joseph married Margaret Devin on 21 Aug 1780 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A.. Margaret (daughter of William Devin, Sr. and Sarah Smith) was born about 1759; died about 1798 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A.; was buried in Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A.. [Group Sheet]


    2. 13.  Margaret Devin was born about 1759 (daughter of William Devin, Sr. and Sarah Smith); died about 1798 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A.; was buried in Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A..
