    Generations:      Standard    |    Vertical    |    Compact    |    Box    |    Text    |    Ahnentafel    |    Fan Chart    |    Media    |    PDF

    Generation: 1

    1. 1.  James J. Reynolds was born on 17 Sep 1813 in Jackson County, Tennessee U.S.A. (son of James Reynolds and Frances Smithey-Crisp).

    Generation: 2

    1. 2.  James Reynolds was born on 08 Mar 1777 (son of John Reynolds and Martha Gore); died on 08 Nov 1851 in Sparta, Buchanan Co., Missouri.

      James married Frances Smithey-Crisp. Frances was born on 01 May 1783 in Caswell County, North Carolina; died on 05 Oct 1849 in Sparta, Buchanan Co., Missouri. [Group Sheet]


    2. 3.  Frances Smithey-Crisp was born on 01 May 1783 in Caswell County, North Carolina; died on 05 Oct 1849 in Sparta, Buchanan Co., Missouri.

      Notes:

      James & Fanny moved to KY and then to TN about 1800, and on to Missouri in 1819. Many of the descendants of James' son John Warwick still reside in Clay County, Missouri. 8 Jan 1815 James was in the Battle of New Orleans, under General Andrew Jackson. Members of the Sparta Baptist Church James owned seven slaves at the time of his death and requested that they remain in the Reynolds family. Names of the slaves were Joseph, Winkfield, Cady, Soiy, Rososi, Gilbert and George.
      Frances Smithey-Crisp's birth was the result of an affair between her mother, Nancy (Carmichael) Smithey, whose husband had been killed in the Revolutionary War and John Crisp, who had been appointed administrator of the estate of Nancy's deceased husband. Frances Smithey-Crisp was bound to Mary Warwick (possibly a sister of Nancy Smithey) in 1788 at the age of 4. In 1786 her brother Reuben Smithey was bound to John Warwick, Mary Warwick's husband. This is undoubtedly the John Warwick for whom Frances named her first son.

Executors my wife and sons. Recorded 26 May 1712. Witnesses: Arthur Smith, Giles Driver and Jane Benn (Doc.#132r). Hence, this confirms that the above record refers to Richard Reynolds, Sr., (son of Christopher Reynolds, Sr., the immigrant) and his wife Elizabeth Sharpe with their son, Richard Reynolds, Jr., who married Elizabeth Williams, listed as an overseer with Thomas Joyner, Jr. source: R Stucker.
