Quenci: Interesting. Washington-on-the-Brazos was laid out and initial buildings constructed, and first settlers brought in by General Edward Burleson, an ancestor of my wife. Her maiden name is Burleson. The name of the city was changed and is now Austin, the capital city of Texas. I found Susan Reynolds listed as Susan Ann Reynolds. Her daughter, Harriet Eliza Smith, b. 23 Jan 1833 in Brazoria, TX. Another child was Charles Henry Smith. Allen C. Reynolds was the son of Elnathan Reynolds and Susannah Unknown. She was born about 1790. Allan died in Washington County, TX.
