    (Rufus 'Myrtle' Reynolds, born near Callands, September 6, 1907 to parents, Rufus Edward Reynolds and Willie Myrtle Barbour, was the only daughter. After the death of her father, the family lived with her mother's parents, James William and Excy Clay Wells Barbour. Her brothers, Paul DeLeon, Silas Barbour and Luke Hill Reynolds completed the family. She retired from C&P Telephone Company, after working from the age of 17 years. She also returned to school and graduated from the Danville Adult Evening High School in 1962.

    5154 The following is an article Homie Stone Hubbard (Sam's sister) found in an old DAR Magazine and sent to me. Date Unknown.
    Article attributed to Bruce Reynolds, brother of Christine Reynolds Stone, daughter of Keene Johnson Reynolds, s/o William Garrett Reynolds.

    "When your luck is all out and you're down in the mouth; when you're stuck in the North when you want to be South; and the world looks a blank, and there's no one to love and it seems even God's not in Heaven above - I've a cure for that grouch and it works like a shot. I just think of the things I am glad I AM NOT. I just think of the hundreds of worse things I might be, then down on my knees I thank God I am ME. Oh, yes, my blues disappear when I think what I've GOT and quite soon I've forgotten the things I have not."

    5155 The following is from the biography for John Charles Beck in "Beck & Tittle Footprints";, J. Nell Truitt; 1998:

    Charlie was a handsome, clean-cut young man, over six feet tall, square jawed with stunning eyes and slim frame, size 12 shoe, a good foundation! After getting his early education, he enrolled at Texas A&M College and studied mechanical drawing. Then he took a job with Sears Roebuck & Co. and was trnsferred to Kansas City, Mo. That was too far distance from his family, and he returned to Wills Point, Texas and took up his agricultural lifetime continuance.

    John Charles Beck married Miss Alta Mae Tittle on 18 December 1927 in Wills Point, TX. They had five children, four of whom grew to adulthood, and as of 1997, all still living and have families - from Sacramento, California to Valrico, FL.

    He was lovingly called "Poppie" by his grandchildren and grands and lived in Iowa Park, Texas (Wichita County) and Wills Point, Texas, then moved to be near their eldest son, Robert J. Beck in Fort Worth, TX in 1983.

    John Charles Beck died on November 22, 1985 while visiting his son, Larry Max Beck in Denver, Colorado of cardiac arrest and prostate cancer. He had surgery there and died within two days. His body was flown back to Texas where his oldest son , Bob, a Baptist minister, assisted at his funeral. Interment was at Union Grove Cemetery in Wills Point, TX.

    5156 The following messages concerning the Stamps/Carter marriages describe William Stamps marrying Elizabeth Carter; his brother Timothy Stamps marriage to Mary "Polly" Hobson Carter who was William Carter's widow (William Carter the s/o Richard and Susannah Bigger), and the marriage of William Carter s/o Theodorick III and Judith Cunningham, to Mary "Polly" Stamps. I believe these are three different siblings of Theodorick III and Judith Cunningham, et.al. and Theo II. Elizabeth Carter d/o Judith Cunningham married Bill Richardson, I believe this to be accurate information. The Elizabeth Carter who married William Stamps is more likely Ann Waddill and Theodorick II Carter's daughter. Additionally, if William Stamps patented land in 1766 he had to be born prior to that date and so we can deduce that his wife would be born prior to the time he is patenting land. - Mary Frances Reynolds Eggleston; mfeggleston@gmail.com

    George Holder,
    From my research I, too, believe that your William is from the Giles
    CARTER family. The names you list run through all branches of this
    family. However, I would suggest you check out the STAMPS family, i.e.
    Thomas, William and Timothy, for possible leads.

    William (R Wm) STAMPS patented 1020 acres on Birch Creek in Halifax
    County in 1766. His wife Elizabeth CARTER, born 1766, was the daughter
    of Theodrick CARTER III. Elizabeth was the sister of William CARTER
    who married William STAMPS sister, "Polly" STAMPS. After William
    CARTER'S death
    "Polly" married her cousin, Timothy STAMPS, on Dec 30.
    1811.(Pittsylvania Co Marriage records).

    Let us know whether this leads anywhere for yoiu.

    Original message:
    I am looking for the parents and siblings of William CARTER who died
    in Halifax County, North Carolina, in 1810. His will identifies his
    wife as Deanitia, and his children as William (?Billie?), Theodorick,
    Joseph. Francis, Mary, Martha, Nancy Ann, and Lucy. The name of the
    son Theodorick may indicate William is of the Giles Carter of Virginia
    family but I?ve found no proof.

    [comment by David Devin, 10.May.2010: There is no evidence that this Nathaniel Judson served in the ARW. The Nathaniel Judson who served, died after 1832 in Albany, New York (see the Pension records). In fact, records show this family was in Newtown, Connecticut before and during the American Revolution.]

    5181 The will of Richard Reynolds, Sr., who married Elizabeth Sharpe, lists Elizabeth Lewis, the daughter of Richard Lewis as follows: 27 Jul 1711, Richard Reynolds, of Newport Parish: Legatees - Wife Elizabeth; son Richard; son Sharpe; son Christopher the land on which Richard Jackson lives; grandson ----Reynolds; what is due Elizabeth Lewis one of the daughters of Richard Lewis to be paid. Executors my wife and sons. Recorded 26 May 1712. Witnesses: Arthur Smith, Giles Driver and Jane Benn (Doc.#132r). Hence, this confirms that the above record refers to Richard Reynolds, Sr., (son of Christopher Reynolds, Sr., the immigrant) and his wife Elizabeth Sharpe with their son, Richard Reynolds, Jr., who married Elizabeth Williams, listed as an overseer with Thomas Joyner, Jr. source: R Stucker. Reynolds, Richard Jr. (I3594)

    5186 Theodorick Carter, it seems was Witness to the will of Stephen Towns [sic] the accounts current of this will read like a 'whose, who' of the families who intermarried later in Halifax County Virginia, including David Powell, Richard Carter, William Carter, William Womack, Obediah Kerby, James LeGrand, Thomas Lipscomb, James Brooks Turners, Brandons and others. Together with the note that Theordorick married Miss Townes, reputed to be 'Judith' Townes is compatible with the assumption that this is correct information. Presumably Ms. Townes [wife of Theodorick, had died prior to the date of this will, as he married his 3rd wife Judith Cunningham in 1770]WP21 Aug 1783

    5187 There are several known inaccuracies in Dessa's work. The following list highlights the known issues in the manuscript. Other issues are known to exists in the later booklet editions of her work. Note: the later booklets (after 1966) have been done by others, but attributed to Dessa.

    1. Pittsylvania County, Virginia did not exist until 01.June.1767, so any mention that a person was born in Pittsylvania county before that date should be considered suspect. Specifically, on Page 4, "[William Devin, Jr.] was born in Pittsylvania County, Va. in 1752" cannot be completely accurate, because Pittsylvania County would not exist for another 15 years. Even if he was born in the area that would become Pittsylvania County there cannot be any record of the birth in that county. Assuming he was born in Virginia Colony at all, the birth is more likely to be recorded in Halifax County archives or even Lunenburg County depending on the month he was born.

    2. The references to Camden Parish on page 1 are possibly from the vestry records of Camden Parish, Virginia which was created when Pittsylvania county was created. Camden Parish and Pittsylvania have the same boundaries. As of this writing, a Camden Parish in Ireland has yet to be found.

    3. Nathaniel Madison Devin (page 17) died on April Third, not April 31 ("Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November"). Family stories say that the person who carved the headstone mistook the comma after the day as the number one. Ira Devin (Matt's son) is said to have been angry for years after the mistake was discovered. Many references to his date of death are based on the headstone; including The Devin Family booklet.

    4. Page two says the father of Alexander Devin's wife, Susanne, is Bryan Ward Nowlin. Page 37 says her father was Edward Nowlin.
    5. On Page 1, the reference to the records of the parish of Camden: "William and Martha Devin were joined in marriage the 7th day of Sept. 1720 by the Rector of Camden". Speculation this reference may be the marriage of William Devin, Jr. and Martha Mitchell where the 1720 is actually 1780. A hand-written 8 can be mistaken as a 2.

    6. On Page 3, the reference that Pittsylvania County "absorbed Patrick County and Herry County in 1777" is incorrect. "Henry" County was formed from the western half of the original Pittsylvania County in 1777. Patrick County was formed from the northern and western portions of the original Henry County in 1790.

    7. On Page 17, the middle name for Atha Evan is more likely Crystal rather than Christina. Crystal is the middle name used on her Funeral Program.

    8. On page 20, Neale is Gary's middle name, not Niel (son of Carl Glen Devin).
    9. On page 20, Agatha Lynn should be Gatha Lynn (adopted daughter of Carl Glen Devin).
    10. On page 2 concerning the powder horn, family stories from the Alexander Devin line says that the horn was carried by William Devin (Jr. or Sr.) in ARW and carved by him while recuperating from his wounds.
    11. References to "Sucky" Nowlin, wife of Alexander Devin, maybe more properly spelled "Sueky".

    5188 There existed an ancient pitcher, known as the Reynolds Pitcher. It was in the possession of a Miss Weir in 1901. It was supposed to be bequeathed to J. T. Reynolds, of Media PA. One one side of the pitcher was a portrait and the words "Reynolds, the Philanthropist" . The reverse side bore the legend",
    "Not in the fiery hurricane of strife,
    Midst slaughtered legions, he resign'd his life;
    Reynolds expires, a nobler chief than these;
    But Widow's tears, in sad bereavement fall,
    And foundling voices on their father call'
    But sweet repose his slumbering ashes find,
    As if in Salem's sepulchre enshrined;
    And watching angels waited for the day,
    When Christ should bid them roll the stone away."
    Mr. J. T. Reynolds believed the portrait was that of William Reynolds, father of Henry Reynolds of Chichester, PA. The present location of the pitcher is unknown.

    5189 There is a picture of his gravestone at Findagrave; the DOB on the gravestone reads 12 March 1851. Beck, Richard Bell (I2953)
     
    5190 There is a possibility the William might be the William Devin in the 1820 census for Lincoln county Tennessee. However, it is more likely William B. W. Devin is the William Devin in the 1820 Census for Pittslyvania County Virginia. The enumeration for the Pittsylvania County census is consistant with his mother and younger brother living with him along with his mother's slave, Hannah and Hannah's children.

    The William Devin in the 1820 Lincoln County Tennessee was enumerated in close proximaty to an Olliver family, which may indicate the Lincoln county William is William Robert Devin, son of William Devin, Jr. as William R. married Rebecca Oliver in 1820. 
    Devin, William Bryan Ward (I2980)
     
    5191 There is a question on whether Mary Cooper and Mary Caper were the same person. No record of their marriage has been found so far. Family F2154
     
    5192 There is a record of a John White marrying Mehitabel French in Concord on 23 Sep 1741. This may have been the marriage of this John White, but no records say he was the son of Mark and Elizabeth. There could have been another John White in Concord at the time, but nothing has been found to know one way or the other. John, the son of Mark, would have been about the right age to marry in 1741, as men usually were 25 to 30 when they married. White, John (I5081)
     
    5193 There is a woman recorded on the Mount Holly 1840 census living in the Edmund Patch household who was Philomelia's age. Since Edmund probably died in VT, Philomela probably did too.[maryabbywhite.ged] Lawrence, Philomela (I5361)
     
    5194 There is an entry on the 1900 VA CENSUS Halifax under the family of Claiborne Carter HH/FAM 204/207 for a Richard. The record is nearly illegible but does not look like Son or Daughter for this person and the Birth Date is illegible as well. It is possible that this Richard is Claiborne's FATHER who would be nearly 88 years old. Further research is necessary. Carter, Claiborne P. (I12989)
     
    5195 There is no gravestone, but he would probably have been buried there with the other Faulkners. Faulkner, Francis (I5169)
     
    5196 There was a "Yellow Fever" epidemic in 1878. Texanna and her sister were sick together and died around or before 1878. Reynolds, Texanna (I7429)
     
    5197 There was a Dan Peck who was active in the Mount Holly Congregational Church , trying to keep it together after the minister left, until he himself left, about 1851. Dan Peck may have been a relative of Amarilla's. Or they may have been married in the Baptist Church. The records don't say.
    No maarrriage record has been found in the Mount Holly records. The date is approximate, based on about a year before the birth of their first child.

    5198 There were 2 Asa Whites in Mount Holly during this time period. The other Asa was a few years older and went by Asa 1st on many of the records. The latter moved to Ludlow, VT which is just east of Mount Holly by 1814. Asa 2 may have joined the Baptist Church, which was organized in 1804 in Mount Holly, as there is a record of an Asa White, along with a John and Francis (his brothers?), buying pews there in 1820, in a History of Mount Holly, VT. Asa 2 is also known as Deacon Asa in some of the records. White, Asa (I5148)
     
    5199 There were three early Thompson families: the brothers William, John, and Anthony. William died s. p. on 24 Apr 1683. Both John and Anthony had families. This John was called "Senior" to distinguish him from his nephew the "Mariner".
    "Ellin ye relict" presented the Inventory of his estate, which was distributed to herself, to Samuel Lines in right of mary his wife, to Abraham Bradlye in right of Hanna his wife, to Elizabeth, and to "the yournger daughter". (Co. Ct. Rec. Vol 1, p. 86) 
    Thompson, John Sr. (I5401)
     
    5200 There were two Aaron men contemporary with Abraham in Virginia: William and Daniel Aaron. A DNA analysis has proven no relationship between these men and Abraham. I do not know if the Daniel given as a brother to Abraham is the same Daniel found in VA but there was not a DNA match even at the 25 marker level. Aaron, Abraham (I9220)
