    Reynolds

    Israel Reynolds 1757 is as far back as I have verified information. I belive Enos Reynolds was his father, but can not verify that. The Reynolds family, under "More Reynolds", is a large one, dating back to the 1500's in England. I have tried to piece together as much data as I could, along with all the other inter-related families. John Reynolds born 1590 in England, a twin with Thomas,was the first of my suspected direct ancestors to come to America, son of George and Thomasyn. He brought his wife Sarah Chesterfield. They settled in Watertown MA. and then moved to Stamford CT. about 1737, to raise a family. He was a respectable farmer in Stamford. His descendants resided there until late 1700's, when they moved west to Westchester County, New York. Some of the younger members of the family moved on into Susquehanna and Wyoming counties in Pennsylvania, and into the frontier in Indiana and Illinois.

    Hope you find this interesting and useful I can not guarantee accuracy of all data I have done my best but only God is without mistakes......Browse freely and don't be afraid to make suggestions and ask questions. My e-mail is at the top and bottom of this page.
