REYNOLDS posted by Carolyn Griffith on Monday, December 2, 1996

I am looking for information on Martha J. Wilson REYNOLDS who resided in 1870 in the community of Black Oak in Hopkins Co, according to census records. Martha appears in 1860 Choctaw Co, MS census with husband, W. P. REYNOLDS, however, W. P. is not with the family in 1870. According to birth of their last child, Job REYNOLDS, b. Dec. 1866 in MS, they moved to TX between approximatley 1867-1870. Did W. P. die in MS or in TX? What happened to Martha? She appears on 1880 census in Wood County in Precinct #3. Did the county line between Hopkins and Wood Counties possibly move or did she? I have further information on the REYNOLDS family I would be happy to share. Martha's children were Emily Caldonia REYNOLDS, b. 1851; George W. REYNOLDS, b. 1852; James Arthur "Jim" REYNOLDS, b. 1854 (died 1937 in Hopkins Co); Mary Ann REYNOLDS, b. 1856; William Pinkney REYNOLDS, b. 1863; and Job S. H. REYNOLDS, b. 1866. All children were born in MS.
