Joanne..a lot of people were Quakers BEFORE the Revolutionary War and not afterwards cuz they took exception to redcoats marching across their land, etc...Since they couldn't fight and remain in the Quaker church, many of them chose to fight and never went back to be reinstated later. Some of my ancestors who were at Guilford did that very thing, I suspect, as I find the name as Quakers earlier but not after the war. So you may be able to find records of your Reynolds in Quaker records dating prior to the war. You could send for his military pension records if he fought in the RW..if he or his wife applied for the pension you might get a lot of information there. I haven't sent for the pension records for mine as yet, but I believe that you will need either the information as to which unit he was in or else his birthdate. You could also check the DAR book to see if someone else has joined using his service........and perhaps get the information there. Good luck! marti
