I am searching for connections of Reynolds (various spellings) in these townships of St. Clair County Alabama. I am also researching the possible father to Micajah T. Reynolds as Thomas who is on the 1820 St. Clair Alabama census with a correction to a previous post of how the breakdown of family members are, 3 males under 21 and 1 female under 21 and 1 male over 21 and one female over 21 Thomas married Martha Pergeson(Ferguson??) 2 Jan 1807 in Warrenton ,Warren County, N.C. I am trying to find out if she died and when Thomas came to St. Clair that he married Nancy Iler in St. Clair in 1920. Thomas Jr. made a reference to Thomas Sr. as being from Scotland... I believe he means Scotland N.C.

Micajah was living near the town of Ashville in St. Clair Co, AL in 1860. According to a record of his purchase of land , his farm was near the now called " Horse Pens Forty" Horse Pens Forty was a natural rock enclosure used by the Government to hold the Indians for removal to Indian Territory in the 1830's. By the 1860's the area was still a mountainous region that would have made travel very difficult. Even today the roads are steep and winding up the mountain. Sometime between the Civil War and 1870 , Micajah's family moved to Lawrence Co., AL. Micajah is no longer with the family in 1870. I have not determined yet where Micajah died and where her is buried. I have found no evidence that Micajah was in the war, but at least 3 of his sons were. I suspect that after the sons came home from the war , the family left their home due to the terrible things happening around them. Carpetbaggers and Union soliders were distroying homes and killing folks. It was one of the most dangerous places to live in AL after the Civil War. Thank to cousin Robin Bell for this research information on Micajah's land. Some of the township in St. Clair are below. Argo Ashville Branchville Leeds (some records are in Jefferson and Shelby counties) Margaret Moody Odenville Pell City Ragland Riverside Springville Steele Trusseville (some records are in Jefferson County) Vincent (some records are in Shelby County)

After more research I have determined that Thomas Reynolds Sr.did came from Scotland and landed in Norfolk Va. So now I am searching for information on the Reynolds families of Scotland to Va. I have found a marriage record for a possible Thomas Sr. Reynolds, Thomas married Smith, Mary 21 Jul 1774 Virginia Frederick County I am also searching for other family members in reference to this article. DR. PEETE's PLACE This house stands on the eastern end of what they now call Fifth Avenue. In the earliest history of Warrenton it was the lot on which stood the first Methodist Church, called in that day "meeting house." Some years later Mr. Reynolds, a Scotch­man, built a home there for himself and family, con­sisting of his wife, himself, his son, Thomas J. Rey­nolds, his two daughters, Nancy, (Mrs. Varell) and Martha (Mrs. John Price). I have been told that this was a very simple but attractive home, the house scrupulously neat, the yard a lovely sward of grass, shaded by fine trees. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie House" <LeafbyLeaf@msn.com> To: <REYNOLDS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, July 09, 2004 12:44 PM Subject: [Reynolds] St Clair County Alabama Township- Reynolds Connections > I am searching for connections of Reynolds (various spellings) in these > townships of St. Clair County Alabama.
