REYNOLDS - Two branches






by Deborah Shelton Wood Yes! My mother's maiden name was Reynolds from the Virginia line of descendancy from John Reynolds and Millie Mabry of Floyd and Patrick Counties, Virginia. And! It turns out that my Dad's g-grandmother was Demaras Reynolds, daughter of Rev War Veteran, Joseph Reynolds and his second wife, Nancy Ford of Pittsylvania County, Virginia. I would like to present my second line of Reynolds; that of Joseph Reynolds and my maternal line of Reynolds may be viewed on this page: Email me Recently (2012) , doubts have been raised concerning the parentage of Rev war vet Joseph Reynolds (listed below). It is my opinion that more records would help clarify which Hugh Reynolds would be Joseph's father. Reynolds of Southwest Virginia!
