        The Reynolds Homestead and Patrick County Historical Society lists the following for Bartemus Reynolds:

        Bartemus Reynolds was born 25 Aug 1769 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. He was the son of William Richard Reynolds, born about 1712 in Surry County, Virginia, and his wife, Elizabeth Mossom, born about 1722 in Surry County, Virginia. He married Mildred Taylor on 5 Feb 1799 in Patrick County, Virginia. She was the daughter of David Taylor. Bartemus Reynolds died on 22 Nov 1854 in Hall County, Georgia. (Doc.#118c-d)

        Notice the exact date of birth listed for Bartemus Reynolds. This date of birth along with his date of death indicates that this information came from family records, perhaps a family Bible. There are no sources of information listed. Notice that the marriage information corresponds with Patrick County, Virginia marriage records as listed above. Though no children are listed for Baretmus Reynolds and Mildred Taylor in this information, the Rennolds-Reynolds Family Roster by S.F. Tillman lists that Bartemus Reynolds was born on the same date, but in Richmond County, Virginia, the son of William Archelius Reynolds (Doc.#117g). Hence, both Richmond and Surry Counties of Virginia should be searched for additional information on your ancestor, Richard Reynolds, Sr., who appears related to Bartemous Reynolds and the other Reynolds families which inhabited early Henry and Pittsylvania Counties of Virginia.

        In regards to the names of the parents listed for Bartemus Reynolds, the Reynolds Homestead and Patrick County Historical Society lists the following information:

        William Richard Reynolds, born about 1712, Surrey County, Virginia, married about 1745, in Virginia, Elizabeth Mossum, born about 1722, Surrey County, Virginia, died in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.
        Note: This family is listed temporarily until such time as more concrete records are located. Use this lineage with caution. (Doc.#118c)

        Since there are no sources listed, the Reynolds Homestead information appears to be basing the parentage of Bartemus Reynolds and his siblings merely on speculation. However, they have omitted Bartlett Reynolds as a brother and listed Susannah Reynolds as a sister. This is in contrast to Henry County records which reveal Bartlett Reynolds was in fact a brother and strongly indicate that Susannah Bartlett was their widowed mother, not their sister. The Reynolds Homestead also speculates that:

        Richard and William Reynolds are the same person and reference is made to a listing for a William Richard and vast tracts of land that were claimed by Richard Reynolds from 1746-49. They also located a legal paper dated 1775 in which there was a property settlement between Richard and Elizabeth Reynolds. Richard then disposed of his property and relocated to Georgia (Doc.#118c)

        Though the property settlement between Richard and Elizabeth is familiar to the one located for your ancestors, Richard Reynolds and his wife, Mary, as listed in Henry County deeds below, we have found no documents supporting the above information for William/Richard Reynolds and his wife, Elizabeth. William Richard Reynolds is listed as the son of Richard Reynolds, III, who was born 1669 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. Richard Reynolds, III, married Mary Anderson. Interestingly, the Reynolds Homestead makes no reference to Hugh Reynolds who obtained a survey in 1768 for land in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. This is the earliest record for an individual named Reynolds in Pittsylvania County from which Henry and Patrick Counties were created in 1776, and 1791, respectively.
