William married Damaras B. Reynolds on 21 Nov 1827. Damaras (daughter of Joseph M. Reynolds and Nancy Ford) was born on 31 Oct 1809 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia; died on 13 Sep 1865 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia; was buried in Adkins-Oakes Cemetery, Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A.. [Group Sheet]

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 Nancy Ford on 26 Jul 1803. Nancy died in 1847 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Estimate Nancy Ford was about 30 years old when she married Joseph Reynolds, putting her birth at around 1770. He was probably over 50 when he married her in 1803, as he was married to Margaret Devin and with her produced 9 children over their nearly 20 year marriage.

Notes:

3 Aug 1771 Va Patent Bk. 40 p. 551, Pittsylvania Co., Hugh Reynolds received patent for 298 acres on waters of Banister River adjoining land of Nealy & Roberts (Doc. 1140)




See Pittsylvania County, VA Landowners Per 1797 Land Tax: Transcribed by Mary Leigh Boisseau: Lists Hugh Reynolds as owing 2 parcels of land; the first, 105 acres and the second 65 acres. Also Lists Jesse Reynolds (s/o William) as owning 4 parcels of land 104 acres and 3 parcels of 50 acres each. Hugh Reynolds, father of Joseph and William, and husband of Mary Nealey Reynolds, is shown on the land tax records for Pittsylvania Co., VA until 1910. Jesse Reynolds, s/o a William Reynolds bought the land his father, William left to his brothers, Joseph and Richard Cole, in 50 acre parcels in 1794 after the death of this William in 1791.
This Jesse is the son of a William Reynolds who died in 1791, leaving a will naming his children. It is currently speculated by descendants of Jesse, that William Reynolds is Hugh's brother and a second William is a son of Hugh. Further research is being conducted.

Hugh married Mary Nealey on 30 Dec 1756 in Muddy Run, Martic, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. Mary (daughter of William Nealey) was born about 1730; died after 1788 in Marlowe homeplace, Callands, Pittsylvania, Virginia U.S.A.. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Several records show Mary to be born in Pittsylvania County Virginia. However, Pittsylvania county did not exist until 1767 and the earliest settlement of the area did not occur until 1738, so it is unlikely that Mary was born in the Pittsylvania County area.

It is possible that William Nealey (Mary's father) is the same William Neely in the 1757 tax list for Martic township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Along with Hugh Reynolds and William Divin.

Birth:

Mary Neely (found spelled several ways) was the daughter of William Neely of Tomahawk Creek, VA (Callands). Hugh Reynolds bought his land adjacent to William Neely's and Married his daughter Mary. Their son's Joseph and William. Joseph married Margaret Devin and Nancy Ford.

Died:
Her father's will (Wm. Neely) will was proved in 1788; both she and Hugh Reynolds were alive at that time.

Notes:

Married:
Mary married Hugh Reynolds at Wm. Neiley's, 30 Dec 1756 by Rev. John Cuthbertson at Muddy Run Meeting House. He later records the Baptism of son, Joseph on 15 Aug 1759.

Hugh Reynolds bought land in 1768 from and adjacent to William Nealey. And William Nealey's will dated 6 Dec 1787, leaves his estate to his daughter Mary Reynolds and his two grandsons Joseph & William Reynolds. The will was proved: 21 Jul 1788 and Security: Hugh Reynolds.

Nealey is found spelled several ways: Nealy, Neely, Nely, etc.
