Some published Reynolds genealogies appear to contain a few significant inaccuracies and omissions.  These pages are an attempt to expand upon those publications, and to correct such errors as they contain.   I hope these files will prove useful to the descendants of Christopher Reynolds.

These files deal mainly with the first few generations of descendants from Christopher Reynolds (? - c1654) who arrived in Virginia in 1622, settling in the area that later became Isle of Wight County.  He left numerous descendants who remained in Isle of Wight County for more than a century.  The use of the given names Christopher and Richard among the first few generations created a very confusing array of individuals who were not correctly sorted out in published genealogies of the family.  In order to accurately identify the first few generations, a detailed chronology of Reynolds records was created, which is available in the files below.   

I have also included files on another Reynolds family of neighboring Surry County, Virginia as well as a brief summary of seven other Reynolds found in 17th century records in the same area.
