Notes:

Virginia Pittsylvania Co. Heritage Book 1767-2004 Paragraph 900 Robert Edwin and Nannie Richardson Kendrick Reynolds. They were married on 3 Feb 1934. Nannie, the d/o William Thomas Kendrick and Mary Mays, and Edwin, the son of John Levi Reynolds and Emma. After their marriage they moved into a one-room cabin on John Levi's place and produced their first son Wesley 20 Jan 1935. That spring they moved about a mile to a one-room cabin, with a loft and lean-to, on Witchia A. Finney's farm. They farmed as tenant tobacco farmers for about 12 years. They used a black pot to make lye soap, heat water for baths and to can foods. "Whitewash" was brought from a pit nearby and 'daubed' on the inside of the cabin walls. Wewin cut his wheat with a hand cradle (sic), and a group of men with a 'combine' would come through the county each year and 'thrash' the wheat to be ground for flour, hog feed, etc. Cider making, corn 'shuckings, and 'pig pickins' were fall activities. Three other children, Janice, Jackie and Betty Lou, were born there. Those cold winter nights caused a lot of snuggling. The children slept in the loft and sometimes snow would blow in, between the logs and would cover the bed and floor. In 1947 Edwin bought an 80 acre farm, with a 4 room frame house and no electricity or plumbing, about a mile south, from Johnny Fuller, with the help of an uncle, Witchia Finney. In 1948 Edwin went to work at Lee Telephone Co. Edwin retired at age 62 and he and Nannie lived out their lives on the place, in much the same life-style as in the beginning, until their deaths 7 Aug 1997 and Nannie's in 3 Aug 1999.

Notes:

Charlie Wade Reynolds: From 1946 until his death he was a farmer, then a merchant who owned Charlie's Store in Grady, Va. From 1915-1945 (from the age of 27) he lived on the Swanson Place and Charlie Wells' Place.

For a year or two after he was married he and Annie lived on his father's (John Henry Reynolds) farm, which was sold after his death. The cabin was very cold in the winter and in bad shape.

Charlie, Annie, Basil & their baby Edith, Charlie's sisters, Callie & Tabbie and brothers Bogey & Silas then moved to the Swanson Place which was just across the road. Tabbie died from TB while living there. She was in her 20's and was engaged to a man from Danville. She was buried on the Lee Reynolds place near her parents. They stayed there until about 1936. The rest of the children were born while they lived there (7). It was a beautiful place surrounded with Cherry Trees. The children played in the Turkeycock Creek and the woods.

Uncle Allen and Aunt Charlotte lived on the place too. They were an old Black couple who had been slaves when they were children. Annie said that she couldn't have "done it" without Aunt Charlotte. Annie told many stories about Aunt Charlotte and how she helped care for the children. Aunt Charlotte lived in a cabin and cooked over a fireplace and carried water in a churn on top of her head up a hill from the spring. She also made ash bread, so called, because the dough was placed on a flat rock and covered with ashes and placed in the fire where it cooked. You then brushed or cut off the ashes and ate the bread. J. W. Swanson built his house where the cabin had stood (residence in 1930).
