Notes:

I have another story for you. The day John Henry Reynolds, his wife Sally Frances Wells Reynolds and children, Charlie Wade, Mary Ann, Tabitha, Bogie, Silas and Callie were moving from the cabin on John Henry's dads place(Allen Gilmer Reynolds) there wasn't a bridge across Turkeycock creek so they had to lead the horse and wagon across. Mary Ann, the oldest girl was carrying the baby, Callie. She dropped her in the creek. Of course they grabbed her up and got her across. But I heard Aunt Mary Ann and Aunt Callie laughing and talking about it when they were old. Their Dad had bought a farm on Rd. 57 on the left just across the road from the CLCC parsonage (County Line Christian Church). When John Henry died the place had to be sold to pay off debts. Charlie moved the whole family across the road to Swanson place where they share cropped for about 18 years, I think. Then they moved to his Uncle Charlie Well's place in about 1936 and share cropped there until 1946 when he bought Grady store.

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]

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.
