| 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.
