Reynolds Family

Recently I have met a 5th cousin I don't know how many times removed in my Reynolds family line. Because of him I have been able to share findings and meet others in this line also. Never forgo sending messages or letters or make phone calls to others that are researching the same line because you just never know what or who you might find.

Here is my Reynolds line:
Margaret Ann Reynolds
b abt 1824 in MO
m abt Feb 1842 in MO to William Capp son of John Capp and Chelsea Hyatt
d 20 Feb 1896 in Leesburg, Monroe County, MO
dau of George Reynolds and Sarah Francis Catharine Skidmore

George Reynolds
b 1791 Essex County, VA
m 14 Oct 1813 Lincoln County, KY to Sarah Francis Catharine Skidmore dau of Joseph Skidmore and Hannah McKinney
d 2 Jul 1851 Shelby County, MO
son of Robert Reynolds and Dolly Robinson

Robert Reynolds
b 1760 Essex County, VA
m 3 Nov 1786 Carolina County, VA to Dolly Robinson
d 17 Dec 1814 Clarksburg, Harrison County, WVA

now this is where it gets tricky. My new found cousin has Robert Reynolds father as a John and I have Robert Reynolds and Ann Miller

Robert Reynolds
b 1737 Essex County, VA
m
d 05 Dec 1780 Essex County, VA
married to Ann Miller dau of Simon Miller
son of James Rennolds and Sarah Carber

More research is needed to solve this discribancey and so back to work on this line.
