The following was compiled by Rod Stucker <info@intl-research.com >, d at ed nov 2, 2001;

1685, Isle of Wight County Wills and Administrations, Bk. 2, p. 24 3; Is le of Wight County Deeds Bk. 1, p.90; Richard Reynolds list ed as hav ing ma rried Elizabeth Williams, daughter of George Williams (Do c.#138f)

This Richard Reynolds who married Elizabeth Williams prior to 1685 w as k no wn as Richard Reynolds, Jr. in later deeds and probate records ind ica ti ng that he was the son of Richard Reynolds, Sr. According to a de ed d at ed 1693, which is listed below, we learn the following: 7 Feb 169 3, Ric ha rd Reynolds, Jr., and his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of George Wi lliam s, li sted in deed between them and Pharoah Cobb and his wife Elizab eth, r ecord ed 9 Feb 1693 (Doc.#135i). Notice that this deed lists this R icha rd Reynol ds who married Elizabeth Williams as Richard Reynolds, J r. Anoth er deed a nd probate record dated in 1700 lists: 6 Apr 1700, Is le of Wig ht County Wi lls and Administrations, Bk. 1, p. 81; Isle of Wig ht County D eeds, B k. 1, p.306; Richard Reynolds and his wife Elizabeth b ought from G eorge Wi lliams 100 acres in the Lower Parish (part of deed d ated 10 Apr 1 671 of Ph aroah Cobb to George Williams, Taylor [Williams ], father of t he said Geor ge Williams), recorded 9 Apr 1700, Witness ed by Arthur Smit h, Thomas Smi th and Mathew Lowry (Doc.#135r).

9 Feb 1685, Isle of Wight County Deeds, Bk. 1, p.216; Richard Reyn ol ds a nd his wife, Elizabeth, sold to William Murfrey, 100 acres in Low er P ari sh (Doc.#135n)

20 Oct 1685, Isle of Wight County Wills and Administration s, B k. 1, p. 24 7, Richard Reynolds, Ann Tullaugh and Isabell Williams li st ed as witness es to the will of John Burnell recorded 9 Dec 1685 (Doc.# 132 g)

These two records appear to refer to Richard Reynolds, Jr., and h is wi fe E lizabeth Williams. Note that in the probate record dated 20 O ct 16 85 th at Richard Reynolds, Jr., appears as a witness with Ann Tullau gh a nd Isabe ll Williams. Name and residence patterns suggest that Isabe ll Wil liams m ay have been a sister to Richard Reynolds, Jr.?s wife, Eliz abeth W illiam s. In reference to Ann Tullaugh, in 1684, Richard Reynold s, Jr.?s f athe r, Richard Reynolds, Sr., and Robert Coleman were list ed as securiti es f or James Tullaugh who was the administrator for the es tate of John Lo ckhar t: 9 Sep 1684, Isle of Wight County Wills and Admini strations, B k. 1, p. 5 7; Richard Reynolds, Sr., listed as security alo ng with Robe rt Coleman f or the estate of John Lockhart, administration r equested by J ames Tullau gh (Doc.#132y). In 1698, Richard Reynolds was li sted as a witn ess to the w ill of James Tullaugh: 26 Mar 1698, Isle of Wi ght County Wil ls and Adminis trations, Bk. 1, p. 390; Richard Reynolds, J ohn Street a nd Ann Street list ed as witnesses to will of James Tullaug h, trustee Jo hn Giles, record ed 2 May 1698 (Doc.#132l).

1689, Isle of Wight County Deeds, Bk. 1, p.25; Elizabeth Reynold s, si st er of Richard Reynolds, listed as wife of John Nevill (Doc.#138d)

This deed reveals that Elizabeth Reynolds, sister of a Richard Reyno ld s, m arried John Nevill, prior to 1689, probably about 1688 just p ri or to the f ollowing land dispute. Within the next few years Richard Re yno lds and Jo hn Nevill appear is subsequent records as follows: 3 Apr 1 69 0, Isle of Wig ht County Deeds, Bk. 1, p.25; Richard Reynolds and Jo hn Neu ill [Neville] i nvolved in a division of a tract of land, Witnesse s: Jose ph Woory and Samu el Swann, recorded 9 Apr 1690, signed in the pre sen ce of James Benn, Willi am West, Will Godwin, James Tullaugh... (Doc.# 135g ). 9 Apr 1690, Seventeen th Century Isle of Wight Co, Virgini a, by Jo hn B. Boddie, p. 603, Richa rd Reynolds and John Neville involv ed in a dis pute settled by a Jury (Doc. #131aj). The listing of James Tul laugh as a w itness in 1690 to the divisi on of land between Richard Reyno lds and his b rother-in-law John Nevill sug gests that this is the same Ri chard Reynold s, Jr., who married Elizabeth W illiams is the same individu al who appear ed as a witness of James Tullaugh ?s will in 1698.

7 Feb 1693, Isle of Wight County Deeds, Bk. 1, p.90; Richard Reyno ld s, Jr ., and his wife, Elizabeth, listed as daughter of George Will ia ms in de ed with Pharoah Cobb and his wife Ann, and mother Elizabeth C ob b, record ed 9 Feb 1693 (Doc.#135i)

According to Isle of Wight County deeds and probate records, th is is t he s ame Richard Reynolds, Jr., who married Elizabeth Williams a nd who w as t he son of Richard Reynolds, Sr., and Elizabeth Sharpe: 7 F eb 169 3, Is le of Wight County Deeds, Bk. 1, p.90; Richard Reynolds, Jr ., and h is wif e, Elizabeth, listed as daughter of George Williams in de ed with Ph aroah C obb and his wife Ann, and mother Elizabeth Cobb, record ed 9 Feb 16 93 (Doc. #135i); 6 Apr 1700, Isle of Wight County Wills and Ad ministration s, B k. 1, p. 81; Isle of Wight County Deeds, Bk. 1, p.306; R ichard Reynol ds a nd his wife Elizabeth bought from George Williams 100 a cres in the Lo wer P arish (part of deed dated 10 Apr 1671 of Pharoah Co bb to George Will iam s, Taylor [Williams], father of the said George Will iams), record ed 9 A pr 1700, Witnessed by Arthur Smith, Thomas Smith a nd Mathew Lowry ( Doc.#13 5r).

His property was distri buted Ju ne 9, 1727. As Joseph, S enior's two adult sons, Samuel, aged abo ut 24 a nd just married, and Benja min, aged about 22 and unmarried, di ed at abo ut the same time as the sa me year, it would appear that some su ch epidem ic as smallpox, typhoid fev er, etc., was sweeping over the tow n. Josep h, Jr., was in 1727 also appoi nted guardian of his minor brothe rs Nehemi ah and Isaac. On March 26, 172 8, the widow Abigail leased her sha re of h er late husband's property to h er 'eldest son (probably step-son) J oseph ,' signing by mark.(+) John (2 3) deeded to Joseph (26) in 1717 for ú2 par cel of land taken up acc ordi ng to town grant of an acre to ú4 estate, wh ich is ú43 14 00.

Fin ch boys had sister, Elizabe th Whitney. Joseph's children Reuben a nd Elizabeth were baptized Nov. 1 0, 1728; and h is widow joined the Seco nd (West) Society Congregational C hurch of Horsene ck, Greenwich. Birth da tes of children below are taken f rom the Greenwi ch town records and fr om a small genealogy printed in 18 75 by the late Ho n. Edwin Ruthven Reyno lds. Joseph's first wife was Mi ss Abigail Finch, whom he m. in 1698, daug ht er of Joseph(+) and Elizabe th (Austin) Finch of Greenwich.

All the children, however, are by this f irst wif e. Joseph's second wife was Abigail Rundell; m. between 1718-172 7. Jose ph h ad no children by her. She was a co-administrator of Joseph 's esta te in 17 27. She was the 'widow Abigail Reynolds' who joined the Se cond ( West) Soci ety Congregational Church, Nov. 24 (or Dec. 16?), 1728. R ecor ds of the sa me Church show that she married there John Benedict of No rwa lk, Conn., No v. 19, 1729. (+) A reliable correspondent in Californi a, wi thout access to notebooks, w rites that it was possible Joseph had b ut o ne wife, as she thought she had seen the name wri tten, Mrs. Abiga il (Fi nch) Rundell, which would make it possible to acce pt the March, 17 28, it em of her 'eldest son' as correct. At the last mome nt we are un ab le to verify this, but record it for future investigation.

126. John 'The Cooper' Reynolds 9 was born in 1670 in Sound Beach Or Greenwich, CT6 and died in Dec 1732 in Sound Beach Or Greenwich, CT at age 62.

General Notes: JOHN REYNOLDS, 'Junior,' 'the cooper,' (John2; John1) b. Sound B ea ch or Gr eenwich, Conn., about 1670; d. there December, 1732; his fat he r, usually r eferred to as 'Mr. John2 Reynolds,' because Justice of Pe ac e, d. 1701; h is cousin John3, usually referred to as 'John, Sr.,' d. a bo ut 1735-36. Th is John the cooper was often referred to in deeds, will s, e tc., as 'Jr.' D uring all their lives these three Johns were much con fus ed because of iden tity of name. We do not know the name of John's w if e, as she had died before him and w as not mentioned in his will of 1 73 2. His first daughter was obviously nam ed for his own mother who h ad be en Judith Palmer; but his second, Lydia, m ay have been named for Jo hn's w ife, the mother. In Stamford Probate recor ds we find mention of 'L ydia Fe rris, alias Reynolds, late of Greenwich, si ster of Joshua Ferr is and Ru th Peck.' But the supposition is weak and nee ds further resear ch to suppo rt it. Probate on Joshua Ferris, March 4, 174 6, mentions hei rs of sist er Lydia Reynolds. On June 20, 1695, he received from his fathe r, 'Mr. Joh n' the house and ho melot at Horseneck, Greenwich--perha ps on coming of a ge or at marriag e. In 1697 ranked with ú51 on town prop erty list. May 1 0, 1697, he and oth ers received ten acres each at Horsen eck, as 'ye tow ne having taken into c onsideration ye necessitie of so me of ye young m en belonging to ye towne h aving land for their settleme nt wherefore ye to wne de hereby grant * * * h omelots and field lan ds to such as have not ho melots already: John, Jr. a nd Sr.' The 'Sr.' be ing his cousin3 son of Jon athan2. May 21, 1698, our Jo hn among those ent itled to portions of la nd in Greenwich, 'son to Mr. Rena lds.' April 4, 1 699, he and Jonathan app ointed on committee to discharge p reacher Morg an for dullness, Greenwich- -but more likely it was his fath er or cousi n. 1701, town tax list at ú7 2. Feby. 4, 1701, shared in distrib uti on of land west of Myanos River. De c. 2, 1704, he and brother James, 's o ns of Mr. John Renals, decd.' b uy of Gershom Lockwood (Greenwich De ed s, p. 383). Dec., 1704, he and brot her James appear. March 6, 170 6, bu ys of brother Joshua; 'received la nd in ye first dividend, 4 lb s. to an ac re -- 15.'; buys of brother Jonat han. April 29, 1706, sel ls to brother Jam es; also bought third of father 's right from brother Ja mes, and then so ld James two pieces of land: ha lf portion of father's ri ghts in the Indi an Field and third part of fathe r's rights at Birum Nec k. He is mention ed 1710 in estate of Stephen Holme s, Fairfield probat e. Dec. 2, 1712, sel ls land to James, Clapboardtree Ri dge (III: 34 Green wich Deeds). April 2 0, 1725, 'John Reynolds, Jr., coope r' gives la nd to sons Peter and Davi d. Sells to son David 1728; sel ls to brother Da vid Feb. 8, 1728-29. John signed his will Nov. 11, 173 2; it was probat ed March 26, 1732-3 3, at Stamford; it makes his brother J ames and son-in -law Samuel Mills exe cutors. 'I give to my true and lovi ng wife twenty p ounds current money of the Coll ony of Connecticut a nd to Return to her w hat she brought to me when I mari ed her in the sa me specie or equivale nt to be delivered to her by my exec s. * * * and Dav id is to pay my wi fe that twenty pounds I give he r. * * * that my two son s, Peter and Dav id to pay there sister Judith Thir ty pounds a peese.' Men tions his sist er Judith Betts. This John, like his son David4, always ma de his ho me in the 'West or Seco nd Society' of Greenwich, and all his li fe bore t he tag, 'John the Cooper ,' in contradistinction to many other re lated Jo hns. We hope that some o ne will discover the name of his w if e, if it is not the Lydia Ferris abo ve given.

General Notes: JONATHAN REYNOLDS: (John2; John1) b. Greenwich, Conn., 1682; d. 170 9, th er e; m. Miss Mary Mead before 1703, dau. Joseph2 Mead of Greenw ic h. (S ee p. 125 Mead Genealogy.) Mary had a brother Daniel who deeded c ons iderab le personal property to her, 1707, which transfer her brother-i n-l aw Dav id Reynolds witnessed. 1709-10 she settled Jonathan's esta te wi th he lp of her brother Daniel. Her father, Joseph Mead, d. before 1 702. S he h ad also brother Joseph who m. Jonathan's cousin, Sarah Reynold s. Jan y. 2 0, 1702-03, Joseph Mead speaks of money due his brother-in-l aw 'Jonat han R eynolds, Jr., from the estate of the late Joseph Mead of G reenwic h, upon h is wife's portion. A Mrs. Mary Reynolds d. after 1760, a nd becau se of h er association with Penelope4 (Reynolds) Pennoyer of Stam ford-Gree nwich, a nd in deeding property with her in 1760, and other inte rest in t he grandch ildren of Lieut. David3 Reynolds, brother of this Jon atha n, it is possibl e, though not probable, that this widowed Mary (Mea d) Rey nolds m. Lieut. D avid3 Reynolds after the death of his first wif e, Penelo pe Wright. Read t he account of Lieut. David3 herein, No. 37 fol lowing. M ay 3, 1704, Jonathan was made an inhabitant of Greenwich, b ut di ed a f ew years later. Town tax list at ú27 in 1701. Feby 4, 1701, s har ed in dist ribution of land west of Mianus River. April 29, 1706, sel ls la nd to his b rother John, Jr., being one-third of his dead father's r ight s. Feby. 18, 1 707-08, 'layd out land of Jonathan Renals, son to M r. Jo hn Renals, la te of Greenwich, deceased, being his right as by wi ll may ap pear.' As this Jonathan Reynolds was some twenty-two years young er than h is cous in Jonathan, there is much less confusion between th em in the o ld recor ds than between their respective brothers John who we re more ne ar ly of an age. By the appointing of Administratrix, his wif e, and admini str ator, her brother, Samuel, we are sure Jonathan died bef ore 1710. We k now of only one child. Yet there are two later referenc es in the Green wi ch records, which if they have been correctly copi ed by previous work er s, are very puzzling. On April 1, 1731, 'Joseph Rey nolds, son unto Jo hn Re ynolds, deceased,' gives half his property to 's on Hezekiah.' And ag ain, J any. 3, 1711, 'Jonathan Reynolds buys of broth er David half of my f ather 's rights in Indian Fields, it being half rig ht of Mr. John Reynol ds in th ese fields.' These two records should be ex amined on the sp ot in Greenwic h. Our copyist may have erred. We belie ve Jonathan and Ma ry (Mead) Reynol ds had only one child.

Jonathan married Mary Mead, daughter of Joseph Mead and Sarah Reynolds, before 1703. Mary was born about 1690.

General Notes: JOSHUA REYNOLDS: (John2; John1) b. Greenwich, Conn., 1685; d. 176 5, t he sa me year his son Caleb died. The name of Joshua's wife we do n ot kno w. The name of his only known daugh ter might suggest the mother 's first n ame. Will of Thos. Pennoyer, Stamfor d, dated Nov. 13, 1724, me ntions wi fe Lydia (Knapp) and daughter Abigail R eynolds, b.

Feby. 18, 1719, relinquishes la nd to brother Lie ut. David Reynol ds. January 17, 1721-22, received la nd of brother Lieu t. David, mentioni ng brother John. In 1733, he with Jame s, Jr., and Nath aniel, petitioned C onnecticut General Assembly to be tak en from Pari sh of Stanwich and add ed to Greenwich. They lived in southwe st part of S tanwich. In 1739 on t he tax list at ú126 he was the wealthie st of twenty -three taxpayers of h is name in Greenwich. In 1748 deeded la nd to sons D aniel and John.

General Notes: Carrie Holbrook <familygirlaz@cox.net> has this Samuel & his brothe r, Jo b, as CHILDREN of William and Alice Kitson Reynolds, through their s on, Jo b, rather than GRANDCHILDREN, through their son of thi
GenForum;Runnells;

Warren Stearns <wdstearns@photec.com>; Samuel Runnells was the gr an ds on of William and Alice (Kitson) Runnells. The Genealogical Dict io na ry of Maine and New Hampshire says he was the son of William Runne ll s. How ever, the naming of his children make it more likely he was t he s on of J ob and Sarah (Crawford). Her father's name was Stephen and Sa mu el had chil dren named Stephen, Job and Sarah. Can anyone clear this up ?

Ben Myers <bambendor@bendnet.com> reply to Warren Stearns Any dat es or a t imeline of your Runnells? I have a first generation Samue l, wi th sons St ephen & Job & Samuel. Job was married to a Sarah (maid en na me unknown.)

Lyman Lowrey <lwlowrey@aol.com> response; I'm a little out of date on re se arch and I see this discussiom on Sa m. Is there information confirmi ng re lationship of Sam, John, and Job as t heorized in M.T. Runnells boo k. Is J ohn the grandson of William and who mi ght his father be. As you m ight ha ve guessed I'm a descendant of John.

Warren Stearns; Samuel Runnells was born about 1674, probably at Port Ro ya l, Nova Scotia a nd died 27 Oct 1745. He became the administrator of h is g randfather, Willi am's, estate and also his uncle John's in 1721. Wil li am had three sons, Jo b, William and John. John died without child re n, so I'm trying to find whe ther Job or William was Samuel's father.

Ben Myers; We appear to have the same Runnells Family, but unfortun at ly I can go ba ck no farther than Samuel born 1674. His marriage to Ab iga il Middleton pr oduced Samuel ll, which line I follow.

Llanna Morrow (Runnells) <llanna_s@yahoo.com; I have got access to the f am ily history book by M.T. Runnells. I am in t he process of copyi ng it a nd putting it together for more members of my fa mily. My uncle h as a cop y, which is in very poor shape, and I know of a co py at the Spri ngvale (M aine) Public Library which I'm copying from. I wou ld love to t alk with a nyone that may have more informaton. I'm a decende nt of Job.

Mike Runels <runelsm@erols.com; Hi, I have an original of an M.T. Runn ls b ook handed down from 1st s on to 1st son, etc., and would be intere st ed in correspondence from oth er Runels' members.

My email tmseeno@ ecis.com or fseeno@ecis

Ben Myers; The fifth son of Samuel was Job. I think a Job was the fa th er of Samuel b ut confused records might also indicate a Job was an U nc le of Samuel a nd a Job was a brother to Samuel.

Llanna Morrow (Runnells); If I have this right ( I think I do), Job Ru nn el ls of Durham, NH 1713-1762. To date I only have part of t he bo ok in my pos ession, so I've got bits and pieces. I do know for su re th at the part of t he Runnells family that I'm decended from were foun ding m embers of Acton ( ME).

Ben Meyers of Bend, Oregon; The Job you list is considered by tradi ti on & legend to have been a broth er to Samuel,'settling on the oth er si de of the pond' from Samuel and spel ling the name differently. Giv en Sam uels birthdate of 1674 and Jobs of 17 13, that is about 39 years di fferenc e. Possible I guess but highly unlikel y. To my knowledge the re is no doc umentation that would prove that Job, J ohn, and Samuel we re brothers.
