      Notes 
      • Charlie Wade Reynolds: From 1946 until his death he was a farmer, then a merchant who owned Charlie's Store in Grady, Va. From 1915-1945 (from the age of 27) he lived on the Swanson Place and Charlie Wells' Place.

        For a year or two after he was married he and Annie lived on his father's (John Henry Reynolds) farm, which was sold after his death. The cabin was very cold in the winter and in bad shape.

        Charlie, Annie, Basil & their baby Edith, Charlie's sisters, Callie & Tabbie and brothers Bogey & Silas then moved to the Swanson Place which was just across the road. Tabbie died from TB while living there. She was in her 20's and was engaged to a man from Danville. She was buried on the Lee Reynolds place near her parents. They stayed there until about 1936. The rest of the children were born while they lived there (7). It was a beautiful place surrounded with Cherry Trees. The children played in the Turkeycock Creek and the woods.

        Uncle Allen and Aunt Charlotte lived on the place too. They were an old Black couple who had been slaves when they were children. Annie said that she couldn't have "done it" without Aunt Charlotte. Annie told many stories about Aunt Charlotte and how she helped care for the children. Aunt Charlotte lived in a cabin and cooked over a fireplace and carried water in a churn on top of her head up a hill from the spring. She also made ash bread, so called, because the dough was placed on a flat rock and covered with ashes and placed in the fire where it cooked. You then brushed or cut off the ashes and ate the bread. J. W. Swanson built his house where the cabin had stood (residence in 1930).
