Mary Ann Aaron

Notes:

Spelling of name changes to Arnn
ABIHU4 ARNN (George Washington3 Sr, Abraham2 Aron Sr, Jacob1 Aaron)22, 23, 24 was born on 23 Sep 1807 in Pittsylvania, Virginia, USA22, 23, 24. He died on 24 Feb 1893 in Conway, Arkansas, USA. He married MARGARET REYNOLDS BLAIR on 26 Oct 1829 in Pittsylvania, Virginia, daughter of Samuel Brittain Blair Sr and Mary "Polly" Reynolds. She was born on 24 Apr 1811 in Pittsylvania, Virginia, USA22, 24, 25. She died on 07 Nov 1876 in Independence, Arkansas, USA.
Notes for Abihu Arnn:
I have changed the spelling from Aaron based on a photocopy of a page from the family bible of Abihu Arnn [clearly spelled Arnn] Abihu and Margaret Blair's marriage listed in "Marriages of Pittsylvania County, Virginia,
1806-1830" by Kathleen B. Williams from LA, p 32: from a letter from a W. C. Blair, a minister at Guilford College North Carolina, dated 21 September 1924 to Mrs. Myrtle Blair Motley. "In 1881 the minister had visited several months at 'Uncle Abihu's' in Arkansas. His Aunt Peggy [as Margaret Blair Arnn was called] was already dead and Abihu was living with his daughter Mary Ann who had married a John Houston. Abihu had two daughters living there--Mary Ann and Fanny."
Other letters provide info that two sisters - Peggy and Ann married Aarons and they went to Arkansas when they first married - in actuality, they went to Tennessee first, then
Arkansas. Abihu and Berryman Arnn and their spouses moved first to Henry County, Tennessee and then to Arkansas; Abihu acquired 50 acres of land through the Little Rock land office in 1879 REF: Arkansas-pre. Do not know if he lived in the Sidney Arkansas area prior to that or not. The
surname is spelled ARNN in this document. I do not know at what point he changed the spelling. Notes for Margaret Reynolds Blair:
Date of Margaret's birth and death are recorded on family page of a bible owned by Abihu Arnn.

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]
