Dear Mr. Reynolds,                My first question/suggestion to you is that you need to do a YDNA test with familytreedna.com in Houston if you or someone of your line has not done one.  You need to do at least 37 markers.  67 markers is better.  They have a seasonal sale on until December 31st.  Be sure to go through the Reynolds surname group for the group discount.                Yes, the many corrupted spellings for Reynolds make it difficult to research.                Also be sure to post to the Reynolds message board and subscribe to the Reynolds surname list at rootsweb.com  It is free.  Also the Edgefield list and board.  Also check these for other possible past posts on your line.                I got a copy of your post to Reynolds family.org list.  So far I have not seen an answer to that post so I will relate some information that may or may not help you.  Do you live in or near Trout Lake, Washington, located more towards the eastern part of the state.  I figured this out from your e-mail user name and your area code on your phone number.  About as far as it is possible to get from South Carolina, and apparently out in the middle of rural areas and not near any major research libraries.  About half the size of Alto, Texas, where I live.  I go 35 miles in several directions for shopping and a genealogy library.                I am originally from Georgia, just married a Texan from Deep East Texas.  I am one of the ones who did not make it to the Reunion because of the rain and flooding that day.My paternal grandmother’s family was from Edgefield District, South Carolina, in and around Trenton on the western side of  the Ridge which is the high ground between two water sheds.  Carpenters, Whitlocks, Booths, etc.  My husband’s family, Cates, were on the eastern side of the ridge which is mostly now in Saluda County that was formed partly from Edgefield somewhere around 1900 without stopping to look it up.                A lot of families left Edgefield to go to Alabama in the early 1800’s as new land was opening up there.  His Cates Family went to Lowndes and Butler County, Alabama, sometimes after the 1820 census but before 1826.  Some of the Reynolds families in early Edgefield were neighbors of the Cates in Edgefield.  I have never found any proofs of any marriages between the two families, just seen the Reynolds name in records while researching his Cates family.                Some years ago there was a book by a couple of ladies(I think) written on the Reynolds of that area.  It seems that they had traced some of them back to the Caribbean Islands, maybe Jamaica or some other place.  Have you seen this book???  This was a migration route from England to the islands and then to the colonies.  Lots came into Charleston, South Carolina.                Also are you a member of the Old Edgefield District Genealogical Society?  They have a wonderful library there on the square in Edgefield.  Have you ever been there to research?  The genealogy library there has many vertical files on various families; they may have a vertical file on the Reynolds family.  That would be information contributed by other Reynolds researchers that is not in book form.                There is a lot of information published on Edgefield records and families.  Many titles are available for purchase from the society.Old Edgefield District Genealogical society, SCGS, 104 Courthouse Square, P.

Pleasant, Texas, that my James Reynolds was going to be considered/recognized for establishment as another line instead of being lumped in the unknowns, etc.                Sorry, I am not able to be more specific about the Reynolds Book.  I am sure that Tanya A. Guy at the Tompkins Library can be a big help to you there in Edgefield.                What is your proof that your ancestor was born in Edgefield??? Have you researched any of the Reynolds families who were there on the census, 1790, 1800, 1810, 1820 for connections???                Wishing you and your family and everyone on the list a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!Vivian Cates, 2403 State Highway 21 West, Alto, Texas 75925-5706 1-936-858-3801 http://www.myinu.net/vcates  From: REYNOLDS-L [mailto:reynolds-l-bounces at reynoldsfamily.org] On Behalf Of Tom Reynolds

Subject: [PossibleSpam] [Reynolds-L] Daniel Jacob Reynolds, Sr (1810)  I have been researching for several years to find ancestry information on my GG Grandfather’s lineage but have been unable to go back further than 1810.  My GG grandfather, Daniel Jacob Reynolds Sr was born 1810 Edgefield South Carolina. He migrated from South Carolina and into Alabama in the 1830s where he married Frances Woodall in 11 December 1834 in Greene County, Alabama. The family migrated into Lauderdale County, MS in the late 1840s and have been there ever since.   The family is listed in the 1840 Census as Daniel Runels in Sumner County, AL.  The family is listed in the 1850 census as Daniel Runnells, in the Whynot/Hurricane Creek area of Lauderdale Co, MS  The 1860 Census list all the family members and family name Reynolds in Lauderdale Co, MS  The 1870 census for the family has not been located at this time.  1880 census has the Daniel Reynolds family in Choctaw County, AL with surname spelled as Rundles. The youngest child, Seabron Richard Reynolds is my G. Grandfather.  I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has any information on this ancestor or sources of information where I might be able to extend the ancestral reach of my father’s family  Tom Reynolds509-395-9309  "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." — George Washington
