Dear Shelley, Thanks for sharing this... My hubby's REYNOLDS family line is connected to the STORY family. He has Pheba Catherine STORY married to John Ross "J.R." Reynolds in Marshall County, AL in 1849. John had migrated from Bedford Co., TN in 1843 according to the records that I can piece together. I have found STORY families listed in the Bedford County censuses but I'm not sure who Pheba STORY's father is yet. It is widely held that her parents were Thomas STORY and Emily MILLICAN but I have found some info that may conflict with that in a Guion Miller Application (for the Cherokee allotment of funds) for one of John's daughters. John R. Reynolds served in the Civil War as a blacksmith but I haven't been able to find a record of his service yet. My hubby's granddad had his uniform but gave it to a museum. He also had his journals from the war but they were "borrowed" and never returned. He probably rode with Gen. Forrest if family lore is correct. This information is sketchy at best but may provide some clue as to the STORY/REYNOLDS connection. Warm regards, Kaeli
