| Notes |
- Robert was the kind of person who made friends with almost anyone with whom he was associated. He saw the humorous side of life and could tell an anecdote in such a way as to made his hearers chuckle down deep. He enjoyed playing jokes on the members of his family, but they were kind jokes, not mean ones. His daughters get together now and tell of the funny jokes he would play on them and those who hear, enjoy the tales. Robert was easy-going. However, he was a hard worker and I believe a good manager. Beneath the joking there was a deep seriousness and sincerity and dependability. He was sympathetic and forgiving - a lovable person. He bore troubles quietly, and he knew how to comfort others who were hurting. Robert went to Hargrave Military Academy (then called Chatham Training School) and the University of Virginia. He married Rebecca Davis, a beautiful lady from Riceville Community.

- On November 14, 1883 when Daddy was nearly 22 and Mother was sixteen, they were married at her home, "The Elms" near what is now Renan. Mother's family had moved from the Greenpond-Hollywood neighborhood to Renan in 1882. The first year of their marriage, Daddy and Mother lived with his mother, Betsy Blair Reynolds, and farmed with her. The next year, they moved to the land Grandfather Brumfield had given them at Renan. The home they built was located below what later became the highway. Mother had wanted to be on high ground, however, the house was placed just a few yards from one of the best springs anywhere around and, in the days when water was brought in by bucketsful and a springhouse was the only means of cooling food, having a spring nearby was a real asset.
