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:

Chancery Court record dated Aug 1805

DOD apparently listed in chancery suit (but which Virginia County??

According to family tradition, he was born near Museville, Virginia and buried near Tomahawk, Va. where he lived. Family tradition says he was a miller. Value of property, $15,302; George K. Smith married Susan Adkins and had the following issue:
1. Booker (Bowker) Smith was never married. He built the R.J. Reynolds tobacco factory and manufactured tobacco. He had a train of wagons and sold it through the Carolinas and Georgia. He died in early manhood so showed a genius for business ability quite young. (This line of Smith's are related to R.J.Reynolds' wife according to Dr. George Smith Anderson, nephew of Booker Smith). According to his tombstone at the old Smith home near Tomahawk he died Sepember 23, 1841.

He owned a vast amount of land on Tomahawk Creek and had many slaves who stayed on with him even after the war as long as he lived, thus making it most profitable for him. He was a very successful farmer. During the Civil War he lost a leg but this did not seem to handicap him in anyway. He once rode horseback alone to Kentucky with nine thousand dollars in his pocket and purchased 1000 acres of land from a Mr. Grubb for himself, Mr. Joe Reynolds and Ward Reynolds which extended from Greenpond back to Bearskin Creek, etc.
He and wife were buried at their old home place where the home and tombstones still stand (1953).
