    3. Specifically seeking information on the ancestors and descendents of Mary Catherine FOWLER, b. ca. 1836 in SC, and Cumberland Clabo (C. C.) REYNOLDS, b. ca. 1833 in GA. Mary C. Reynolds, nee FOWLER , and C. C. Reynolds are enumerated in the 1850 Putnam Co GA Census in the household of J. C. FOWLER and his wife Nancy FOWLER , presumed parents of Mary C. Reynolds. C. C. Reynolds, Private, Co. C, 16th Georgia Cavalry, was a POW and died at Rock Island Prison, Illinois, on 20 Mar 1864 and is buried in grave # 881 in the Confederate Cemetery. On 02 May 1864, the 16th Battalion, Georgia Cavalry was increased to ten companies and constituted the 13th Regiment, Georgia Cavalry. As a result, C. C. Reynolds is sometimes included on the roster of Co C, 13th Regiment, Georgia Cavalry even though he was deceased before the 13th was created. His widow, Mary C. Reynolds, filed for a pension as a resident of Clarke Co GA. Her pension was later transferred to Oconee Co GA and then to Banks Co GA. Mary Reynolds, nee FOWLER, is enumerated as the head of household #480 in the 1870 Clarke Co GA Census. In her household were: twin girls aged 17-one of whom was named Josephine; Mary Ellen, 13; William, 11; Jasper (?), 9; and Walter, 2. William, aged 11 in the 1870 Census, was William Nixon Reynolds, b. 02 Jan 1859, in Jasper Co GA. He married Rosena Victoria CONNELL before 1879, probably in Clarke Co GA. Rosena Victoria Connell’s parents are buried in a 3-Grave Cemetery on property now owned by the University of GA in Athens, Clarke Co GA. The names and dates on the headstones are: a.. Elizabeth Connell/ Wife of G. J. Connell/ Born September 5, 1826/ Died June 7, 1888. (Mother of Rosena Victoria Connell.) b.. Green J. Connell/ Born May 10, 1830/ Died May 4, 1901/ Aged 70 years 11 months 25 days. (Father of Rosena Victoria Connell.) c.. Mrs. Charlotte CAUDLE/ Born May 17th 1788/ Died August 24, 1866. (Presumed mother of Elizabeth Connell but there is no proof of this relationship.) William Nixon Reynolds (1859-1904) m. 1st Rosena Victoria Connell (1860-1901). They are both buried in the cemetery of Princeton United Methodist Church, near Athens, Clarke Co GA. William Nixon Reynolds m. 2nd, Myrtle Clarene Rice (1882-1969). Myrtle Rice Reynolds m. 2nd Walter S. Mealor, Jr.; m. 3rd Thomas King. The children of William Nixon Reynolds and Rosena Victoria Connell were: 1.. Ira Alen Reynolds (1879-1938), m. Alma E.

Emily Victoria Reynolds (1897-1928), m. John N. Slay, 1916. Child of William Nixon Reynolds and Myrtle Clarene Rice was: Sabra Reynolds (1903-after 1982) Please note that Lillian Henderson (1964) in her Roster of Confederate Soldiers of GA, Vol IV (p. 748) has a C. C. Reynolds who was in the 44th Regiment GA Infantry and who died at Fort Delaware Prison, Delaware. I can find no other reference to a C. C. Reynolds who was in the 44th Regiment, Georgia Infantry, nor can I find any documentation of a C. C. Reynolds who died at Fort Delaware Prison. Therefore, I assume that Lillian Henderson was mistaken, but in the event that she was not mistaken, I would be very interested any documentation this C. C. Reynolds. If there were such a C. C. Reynolds, he would have enlisted in the 44th GA Infantry in Jasper Co GA. Any additional information or collaboration on these particular REYNOLDS, CONNELL, FOWLER or CAUDLE families would be much appreciated. Franklin, Raleigh, NC [email protected]
