Would you share your proof with me? I have this Mary Reynolds as the daugher of Robert Reynolds and Deliverance Smith. Their daughter Deliverance Reynolds married in Westerly in Jan. 1726/7. Robert & Deliverance (Smith) Reynolds also had a daughter, Mary Reynolds who was named in her father's will. After Robert Reynolds died his widow Deliverance (Smith) Reynolds married Joseph Tefft. Thank you, Susan Irish Nahas Hi Susan, A good question! I too at one time had Mary Reynolds, wife of John Tefft, as the daughter of Robert Reynolds and Deliverance Smith. This led me to do miles of research on Robert Reynold's and Deliverance Smith's ancestors, including not only the Smiths, but Gereardy, Sweet,Pollet and Wescott. But I never could find any proof. Then someone convinced me that Mary Reynolds was not Robert Reynolds daughter, but actually the daughter of Francis Reynolds and Elizabeth Greene. So I changed my database, and added the ancestors of Francis Reynolds and Elizabeth Greene including Greene, Potter, Anthony, and Tattersall. Again I had no proof. Then Tim Tefft suggested I look for The Reynolds Family Annual Reports, which I found in The Rhode Island Historical Library on Hope St in Providence. There, in an article by Mary Reynolds Fosdick in the 31st Annual Report, page 135, was the marriage of Mary Reynolds, daughter of Thomas Reynolds and Sarah Clarke to John Tefft. Not exactly primary proof, but better than any thing else I could find. I welcome comments from anyone who has a better idea!
