For jemeyes2@yahoo.com, who wrote concerning # 1684 in S. F. Tillman's REYNOLDS genealogy: "The Thomas Byrd Reynolds in question married SARAH McDOWELL 14 April 1807 Monroe Virginia NANCY WELCH 18 May 1814 Greenbrier Virginia my question is did Thomas Byrd/bird Reynolds have a marriage prior to 1807? the issue of Thomas J. Reynolds b. 1800 could not be the son of either of the Wives of Thomas byrd Reynolds" I can not answer your question about Thomas' wives, as S. F. Tillman did not name his wife, nor indicate that there were multiple wives. Below are Thomas' ancestors and his descendants (who are carried forward). Descendants not carried forward may be found in the book itself. This is about the best info I can offer. --------------------------------------------- ANCESTORS OF # 1684 : REYNOLDS, THOMAS BYRD CHILD PAR NAME OF CHILD PAGE 1 0 REYNOLDS, CHRISTOPHER 1 2 1 REYNOLDS, RICHARD 1 1482 2 REYNOLDS, NICHOLAS 62 1483 1482 REYNOLDS, ROBERT 62 1677 1483 REYNOLDS, NATHANIEL 70 1678 1677 REYNOLDS, BENJAMIN 70 1682 1678 REYNOLDS, JAMES WILLIAM 70 1684 1682 REYNOLDS, THOMAS BYRD 70 FROM S.
