I am a descendant of Electious Reynolds and Mary Pease. I have a second Reynolds line in my family for Jeremiah Reynolds, and have never been able to find his parents.
Today on Family Search, I found a record that says he was the son of Jeremiah Braley and Charity Reynolds. His siblings (who were all older than him) had the surname Braley. How would Jeremiah’s surname be Reynolds? I know that Sue Clement’s Reynolds line connected with this Braley line, so I’m hoping you can help me figure this out. My Jeremiah’s surname was definitely Reynolds. He was married to Nancy Stillson. I come from their daughter, Eliza, who married Chauncey Reynolds. (Chauncey’s line takes me up to Electious and Mary.) Jeremiah was later married to Rebecca Foster.
Thanks or any help you can give,
Maria Reynolds

I would like a photo from the Reynolds Family Card Files of Rev. James Reynolds (1771-1837), son of Reuben. I'm responding to a DAR request for more information on a supplemental. I'm showing that information for the John and Sarah of Greenwich, CT published genealogy was based on info collected from descendants through letters and family reunions beginning in the 1890s. I'm trying to prove the link between James and his father Reuben, the patriot. Few baptism records for 1771 survived the Brits in Greenwich, CT.
