John Cuthbertson, a reformed Presbyterian missionary, shows that he baptised Joseph Reynolds, son of Hew, on 15 Aug 1759 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

Neely on 4 Nov 1774 and later purchased 105 adjoining acres from Killian Kreck.

    Hugh Reynolds was exempted from levies in 1785,indicating his age or infirmity; he was listed as not tithable on the 1787 tax list. He was still alive in 1788 at the probate of Wm. Neeley's will.

    Hugh is listed as giving non-military help during the American Revolution. He is also listed as taking the Oath of Allegiance in 1777 in Pittsylvania County, VA."

    Known children of Hugh and Mary are 1. Joseph Reynolds Sr. and William Reynolds

    There as yet has not been found a record of the marriage records of Hugh Reynolds and Mary Nealey. In 1768 Hugh Reynolds purchased land adjacent to as well as from William Nealey.

    Marriage to Mary Neeley or Nealey1756 30 Dec Age: 21Martic Township, Lancaster County, Pa. Married at the home of William "Neiley's" 30 Dec. 1756 by Rev. John Cuthbertson Martic, Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa. Son Joseph Bapt. 15 August 1757 both at Muddy Run Meeting House.

    The will of William Nealey dated 6 December 1787 leaves his estate to Mary Reynolds and his two grandsons Joseph and William Reynolds. The will was prooved July 21, 1788 and the Surety was Hugh Reynolds.

    3 Aug 1771 Va Patent Bk. 40 p. 551, Pittsylvania Co., Hugh Reynolds received patent for 298 acres on waters of Banister River adjoining land of Nealy & Roberts (Doc. 1140)
    See Pittsylvania County, VA Landowners Per 1797 Land Tax: Transcribed by Mary Leigh Boisseau: Lists Hugh Reynolds as owing 2 parcels of land; the first, 105 acres and the second 65 acres. Also Lists Jesse Reynolds (grandson of Hugh, through William) as owning 4 parcels of land 104 acres and 3 parcels of 50 acres each. If, Hugh Reynolds, father of Joseph and William, and husband of Mary Nealey Reynolds had died by 1797, he would not have been on this taxables list. Hugh Reynolds, his grandson, s/o Joseph and Peggy Devin Reynolds would only be 17 years old in 1797; therefore this list must refer to Hugh, the original settler in Pittsylvania County. Jesse Reynolds is the grandson of Hugh, through William, Hugh's eldest son. Jesse bought the land his father, William left to his brothers, Joseph and Richard Cole, in 50 acre parcels in 1794 after the death of William in 1791. Only William's brother Joseph was left to inherit Hugh's estate, therefore no Will or contents appraisal was needed, and none is found in the records of Pittsylvania County.

    Sources
    Hugh Reynolds is found in Martic, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania listed on the taxables list for 1757, along with Wm. Neely, and Wm. Devin and a William Reynolds. He is next found in 1768 in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia buying land adjoining Robert Devin. http://www.horseshoe.cc/pennadutch/places/pennsylvania/lancasterco/townships/marticprov/marticee.htm
    The Pedigree Resource file lists that a Josiah Reynolds was born 1 Jan 1758 in Nansemond County, Virginia. He died in 1833 in Smith County, Tennessee. He is listed as the son of John David Reynolds and Mary Martha Gay. John David Reynolds was born 1 Jan 1727/8 in Guilford County, North Carolina, the son of William Reynolds and Mary Brown. William Reynolds was born 5 Jul 1701 at Nottingham, Pennsylvania. Hence, name and residence patterns indicate that this Reynolds family of Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Virginia, is probably not directly related to the Reynolds families of Patrick, Henry, Pittsylvania and Brunswick Counties of Virginia.

    Residence:
    William Reynolds, Hugh Reynolds, William Neely, and William Devin all appear on the 1757 tax list of Martic Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

    William Neely is the father-in-law of Hugh Reynolds as shown by his Pittsylvania County will naming daughter Mary Reynolds and grandsons, Joseph and William Reynolds. Joseph Reynolds, son of Hugh, married Margaret Devin, daughter of William Devin in Pittsylvania County, Va. William Devin also left a will in Pittsylvania County naming a son, Robert Devin. In his Revolutionary War pension application, Robert Devin stated that he was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania on 6 Apr 1759 proving that William Devin of Pittsylvania is the same person who was in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. These records show that Hugh Reynolds migrated to Pittsylvania County Va from Lancaster County Pa with William Neely and William Devin. This migration may have included other related families as well. Further research is required here, especially into the Blair family.

    Residence:
    His requests for land patents (almost 1200 acres) are recorded in the Land Entry Book, 1737-1770. He may not have received all this land, but it proves he was living here in order to request the surveys.

    Land Grant:
    On 3 Aug 1771 Hugh Reynolds was granted 298 acres on the waters of Banister river in Pittsylvania County, Virginia adjacent Robert Nealey.

    Deed-Purchase:
    On 04 Nov 1774 Hugh Reynolds bought 57 acres on the south side of Tomahawk Creek in Pittsylvania County, Virginia from William Nealey. (DB 4/91). This is probably the same tract of land listed as 65 acres on the land tax list from 1782 through 1809. After his death, this land went to his son, William Reynolds.

    Land Tax List:
    In 1782, the General Assembly of Virginia enacted new legislation providing for the enumeration of the owners of real property in each county. The owner's of each parcel of land were recorded. If a person owned more than one parcel, his name appeared multiple times, one for each tract of land he owned. Hugh Reynolds appears on the 1782 land tax list of Pittsylvania County, VA with 65 acres of land. This is the parcel which he purchased from William Nealey in 1774. For the next three years, only revisions to the land tax list were recorded. From 1786 forward, the list included all properties, not just the revisions from previous years. From 1786 to 1809 Hugh Reynolds appears on the land tax list with two parcels, one of 65 acres and the other of 105 acres. In the 1810 list William Reynolds, son of Hugh, is listed as the owner of these two parcels. This shows that Hugh Reynolds died between the dates of these two tax lists.

    Deed-Purchase:
    On 15 Apr 1783 Hugh Reynolds bought 105 acres on Tomahawk Creek from Killian Kreek for 15 pounds. This is the 105 acre tract shown on the land tax list from 1786 through 1809. At his death, this property went to his son, William Reynolds.

    Hugh married Mary Nealey on 30 Dec 1756 in , Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA. Mary (daughter of William Nealey) was born in 1735 in , Henry, Virginia, USA; died in 1788 in , Pittsylvania, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
