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.

Devin descendant, Stanley Wayne Devin, passed away at 1:30 a.m. on Dec. 4, 2014. He was the last living child of Ira & Oleta Devin.

      Levi C. Reynolds is not listed in the 1913 Chancery Suite naming Sarah Philpott Reynolds' Grandchildren. It is likely that Levi who is shown on the 1850 and 1860 Virginia Census Records in this family is not the Levi found in Cecil County, Maryland and who died after the date of this suit.

      Notes:

      Sherry Moschler and Michael Reynolds of 1426 Barn Road Callands Virginia submitted the following information to be included in the Heritage Series of Books for Pittsylvania Co., Virginia; this can be seen at the Bassett Historical Society Bassett, Virginia Article # 1095:
      " Allen Gilmer Reynolds married Martha Ann Jackson. They lived on Turkeycock Mountain at a place known as "Double Oaks Gap". A foundation on the old homeplace can still be detected there along with large piles of rock - monuments to the backbreaking work involved in clearing the mountain land for farming purposes. Two of their children are buried at Double Oaks Gap. In 1878 they moved off the mountain to the Grady Community.

      (Tabitha and Texanna, two of their daughters died, probably of yellow fever during an epidemic just before they returned to Grady; Allen and Martha were parents to eight children, six who reached maturity and produced families of their own.-Mary Frances Eggleston


      Name:
      Allen Gilmer Reynolds was named by his mother, Sarah Philpott, for her brother, Allen Gilmer Philpott.

      Allen married Martha Ann Jackson on 24 May 1843 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Martha (daughter of James Samuel Jackson and Judith Emmerson) was born on 30 Mar 1819 in North Carolina or Virginia; died in 24 Mar 1909 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia; was buried in Worlds, Rt. 969, Pittsylvania Co., Virginia. [Group Sheet]


    2. 3.  Martha Ann Jackson was born on 30 Mar 1819 in North Carolina or Virginia (daughter of James Samuel Jackson and Judith Emmerson); died in 24 Mar 1909 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia; was buried in Worlds, Rt. 969, Pittsylvania Co., Virginia.

      Notes:

      Martha Ann Jackson, d/o James Samuel and Judith Emmerson Jackson is the niece of Levi Jackson. Levi and his wife Ann Emmerson (sister to Martha's mother, Judith) had no children of their own and reared Judith's children after her death in circa 1828. Martha too, was probably in their household in the 1830 Census which shows one female child age 10-15 along with 6 other children. Levi and Ann had no children. Presumably these children are those of Ann's sister. It is likely that Martha named her eldest son, Levi for her uncle who helped raise her.
      At the time of the 1880 Census they were living in Franklin Co., next door to Susan Bryant, proven to be a daughter of James, (sister of Martha Ann) Martha Ann is named for her mother's grandmother, Martha Walker.

      Buried:
      The 'modern' marker for Allen Gilmer and Martha Ann Jackson Reynolds was installed by Mrs. Ruth Mae Reynolds Marlowe, d/o William Barton "Bart" and Nancy "Nannie" Reynolds. Martha Ann Jackson was Ruth's grandmother.

      Martha Ann Jackson is the daughter of James Samuel Jackson and Judith Emmerson. Judith Emmerson is the daughter of John Emmerson. Judith Emmerson DOB of 1787 is from an entry in the LDS IGI. She was deceased by Jan 1833 when James Jackson married a second time and two of her younger children were in the household of her sister and brother-in-law Anne Emmerson Jackson and Levi Jackson.

      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. 9.  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..
