Pg. 284, Bishop's History of Roane Co. Thomas Reynolds and his wife, Lucinda (Tolly) Reynolds, were among the oldest of the pioneer settlers on lower Spring Creek; Thomas was a son of Ruben Reynolds, of Rockbridge Co., VA, a soldier of the War of 1812. Thomas Reynolds left two sons, William Lane Reynolds and F. Asbury Holt Reynolds. William L. married Emily D., daughter of Joshua and Samantha (Miller) Runnion; of this union one son yet surviving is Joshua Thomas Reynolds, of the City of Spencer, now serving as office deputy of Walter A. Carpenter, the sheriff of the county.
Pg. 313- The Rev. Ruben Reynolds came in 1826, from where or of what sect is not given us. The same year came the Rev. P. Hall, a Methodist minister. These are recorded as preaching "in the wilderness;" but not until 1833, was a religious society organized. That year, Mathew Matties, a Baptist preacher, organized a congregation of Baptist worshippers, at Presley Vineyard's near the mouth of Johnson Creek. (Presley Vineyard was my 3rd g-grandfather.)
Pg.458- Elizabeth Ann, daughter of Joshua and Elvilda, married William Whetzel Short, of Spencer District. Rebecca Viola of this first family was thrice married; first two husbands died, her last being Ruben Reynolds, of Spencer District.

Reynolds Family
Ben Reynolds (Runnells) lived in 1838 in the old house on the Hugh Kyger place, which stood where the dwelling house and post office now stand. He had probably built it.
About the same time, William Reynolds (Bill Runnells) lived in the John Casto house, which stood out in the bottom a little way on the right hand side of the mouth of Bear Tree Run.
William Reynolds married Mary Wolfe, who was a daughter of Jonathan Wolfe. J.M. Reynolds, who lived on Grass Lick, was their son. **
A sister of William and Ben married John Casto, who was killed at a log rolling below Reedyville.
Thomas Reynolds married Lucinda Tolley.
All four of these were children of Reuben Reynolds, who came from Bottetourt County, Virginia, though he may have lived at other places also. Ben was the eldest son. (Someone else said that Casto's wife was a Rollins.)
[** JM (James M) was William's brother. . .bb]
