REYNOLDS.

JOHN REYNOLDS, born in England, in 1612; came to America, sailing from Port of London (Ipswich), in 1633; first settled in Watertown, Massachusetts, where records are to be found of him in 1635; removed to Wethersfield, Connecticut; from thence to Stamford, Connecticut, in 1641; and finally settled in Greenwich, Old Town, in 1650.  He married Sarah, born in England in 1614, and who came on the ship Elizabeth from Ipswich in 1634, and died in Stamford, August 21, 1657.  Their children were Elizabeth, Jonathan and John.

JONATHAN REYNOLDS, one of the original proprietors of Greenwich, born about 1636; member of Connecticut Legislature in 1667; died without will in 1673.  Joseph Mead was appointed appraiser of his estate.  Married in 1658, Rebecca, daughter of Angell Husted.  He left him, surviving, as given in the Fairfield, Connecticut, Probate Records, his widow and the following children: Rebecca, Jonathan, John, Sarah, Elizabeth and Joseph; Ebenezer, the youngest, was born after the death of his father, in 1673.

Rebecca Husted was the daughter of Angell Husted and was born in 1645.  Her mother's name was Rebecca.  Angell Husted was born in England about 1620; settled in Greenwich, Connecticut; died there in April, 1706; was a witness in July, 1640, to the Indian deed of Greenwich, Old Town, to Robert Feaks and Daniel Patrick, and was one of the original patentees named in the patent to the Town of Greenwich, in May, 1665.  He was the son of Robert Husted, born probably in county Somerset, England, in 1596, sailed for Massachusetts in 1635, where he remained for a few years, and then removed to Stamford, Connecticut.  He was also a witness to the Indian deed above referred to, and was granted a parcel of land at Stamford in October, 1642, and died there in 1652, owning land in both Stamford and Greenwich.  His widow, Elizabeth, survived him, and died in Stamford, in 1654.

JOSEPH REYNOLDS, born in 1669; died in 1727; married in 1698, Abigail, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Austin) Finch; born about 1680, and had: Joseph, born May 15, 1699; Abigail, born April 3, 1701; Samuel, born July 15, 1703; Benjamin, born March 26, 1705; John, born May 23, 1708; Nehemiah, born April 8, 1709; Isaac, born June 15, 1711, and Reuben, born December 4, 1713.

Joseph Finch, the father of Abigail, was granted, March 23, 1664, a piece of meadow land at Mianus Neck, Town of Greenwich; died in 1714; married November 23, 16--, Elizabeth Austin.  He was the son of John Finch, who removed to Stamford, Connecticut, in 1641, where he died, September 5, 1657.  Inventory filed, Stamford, 1658.  His wife's name not yet discovered.  He was the son of Abraham Finch, born in County York, England, 1585; probably came to New England with Governor Winthrop in 1630, and first settled in Watertown, Massachusetts; removed to Wethersfield, Connecticut, in 1634, where he died, 1638.  His oldest son, Abraham, was killed at Wethersfield by the Indians, in 1637.  His wife's name not yet discovered.

Elizabeth Austin, wife of Joseph Finch and mother of Abigail, was the daughter of John Austin, who, among others, in 1656, submitted to the jurisdiction of New Haven Colony, May 23, 1673; was granted four acres of land at Clapboard Hill.  He died about 1683.

REUBEN REYNOLDS, born December 4, 1713, died in 1765, leaving a will; married March 19, 1734, Elizabeth, daughter of Elisha Mead, born 1715, and had: Reuben, born March 14, 1735; Titus, Moses, Elizabeth, Joel, Bethenea, Jonah, David, Mary, Hannah and Martha.  Elizabeth married Charles Howe.  Hannah married Isreal Wood.  December 1, 1734, Reuben sold his interest in the estates of his father (Joseph) and his brother, Benjamin, to his brother, Joseph, Jr.

Elisha Mead father of Elizabeth, wife of Reuben Reynolds, was a son of Joseph Mead; 1665, one of the original patentees of Greenwich; January 10, 1664, Elisha received a deed from the estate of Joseph, his father.

REUBEN REYNOLDS, born March 14, 1735, married Hepzibah.  They had, among other children, Andrew, born, Rye, New York, a few miles from Greenwich, March 4, 1764.  Reuben was a soldier in the French and Indian war, campaign of 1757.  He was in Captain White's company, 9th Regiment, Colony of Connecticut.  Many of the records of Greenwich were destroyed during the Revolutionary War.  He was also in the Revolutionary War, enlisting as a private in the 2nd Regiment of Connecticut May 1, 1780.  Was fifer in Captain Stephen Betts' company, 3rd Regiment, Connecticut line, 1781-83, and was at the siege of Yorktown.  Vide: Connecticut Military Record Connecticut Historical Society, Vol. 12, pages 167, 313, 330, 334 and 349.  He moved to Chatham (Canaan Township), Columbia County, New York, and about 1792 to Kortright, Delaware County, New York, where he died.  His wife, Hepzibah, who died there in 1828, was said to be 104 years old.  Diligent research has failed to disclose her family name.  I think it very probable that her name was also Reynolds, and that she was Hepzibah the daughter of James Reynolds and Phebe Fowler, who was born at Greenwich, September 18, 1744.  The line being ¹John, ² John, ³James, ⁴James, ⁵Hepzibah.  Reuben was a descendant of ²Jonathan son of Immigrant John, and this Hepzibah, of ²John, son of Immigrant John.  Her father ⁴James, died at Amenia City (Smithfield) Dutchess County, New York, June 2, 1773.  Some of his descendants also went to Chatham, Columbia County, New York.  There has been a tradition that she was a Huguenot and born at New Rochelle.  Hepzibah is a New England name.  I doubt this tradition.

ANDREW REYNOLDS was a currier and leather manufacturer and born Rye, New York, March 4, 1764; married 1st, Sarah Cleveland, daughter of Elijah Cleveland and Alice Lawrence.  Andrew was a soldier in the Revolutionary War; he was a member of Colonel Brinkerhoff's Regiment, New York Militia in 1779 and 1780, although a mere youth.  Many of his age entered the service at that time.  A certificate for his pay was in Colonel Brinkerhoff's hands at the time of the Colonel's death and was never demanded by Andrew, who died at Kortright, N. Y., July 28, 1855.  The children of Andrew and Sarah (Cleveland) were: Isaac, born September 9, 1787; Hosea, born October 15, 1788; Henry, born January 1, 1790; Sally, born January 14, 1791, all born Chatham, Columbia County, New York; also Andrew, born October 28, 1792; Hepzibah, born February 25, 1794; Lucy, born September 14, 1795; Amy, born June 5, 1798; Patty, or Polly, born December 8, 1800, and John, born February 11, 1802, all of whom were born in Kortright, Delaware County, New York.  Hepzibah married Edward Bissell; lived at Brooklyn, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania.  Their children were: Charles, Nelson, Edward and Lydia Bissell.  Lucy married Amos Roberts, and their children were: Emma and J. Cleveland Roberts, Delhi, Delaware County, New York.  John married Sally Kenyon.  Their children were Edgar Reynolds, St. Louis, Mo.; George and Charles Reynolds, Oneonta, N. Y., and two others.  Andrew married 2d, Frances Peck, born February 11, 1771; died 1853.  No children recorded.

Sarah Cleveland, wife of Andrew Reynolds (died Kortright, N. Y., February 4, 1811, aged 48 years; married 1785), was the daughter of Elijah and Alice (Lawrence) Cleveland, was born in Hillsdale, Columbia County, New York (formerly Nobeltown or Spencertown).  Elijah Cleveland was born January 5, 1721, probably in Canterbury, Conn., where he dwelt until 1748; married, in 1748, Alice Lawrence; died, Hillsdale, September 28, 1794; was a member of Albany County Militia, 9th Regiment, during Revolutionary War.  Both Elijah and wife were buried near site of Old Baptist Church, Hillsdale, on land of Samuel B. Collins, in a graveyard now obliterated.  He lived in Middletown, 1748 to 1750; Great Barringtown, Mass., in 1750, afterwards Hillsdale.  Joined church, Brooklyn, Conn., April 18, 1742.  Elijah was the son of Joseph Cleveland, born Chelmsford, July 16, 1669, and Abigail, daughter of Jonathan and Dorothy (Kidder) Hyde, born at Cambridge, Mass., August 8, 1668.  They were married February 17, 1710.  Joseph was the son of Samuel Cleveland, born Woburn, Mass., June 9, 1657, and Jane, daughter of Solomon and Frances (Grant) Keyes, of Chelmsford, Mass., who were married May 17, 1680.  Samuel Cleveland was the son of Moses Cleveland, of Woburn, Mass., who settled there in 1635, and who is the ancestor of most of the Clevelands, including Grover Cleveland, late President of the United States.  Se History of the Cleveland family by Edmund James Cleveland, Hartford, Conn., 1899.  Printed by the Case, Lockwood & Brainard Co.  Also History of Hillsdale by Collin, 1883, page 62.  Cleveland, Ohio, derives its name from one of the descendants of Moses Cleveland, one of its founders.

HOSEA REYNOLDS, son of Andrew and Sarah (Cleveland) Reynolds, was born at Chatham, Columbia County New York, October 15, 1787.  He moved to Kortright, Delaware County, and later established the Hamlet called Hoseaville.  He owned and operated a tannery, was a manufacturer of leather and leather products on quite and extensive scale for the times, and died at East Davenport, Delaware County, New York, May 17, 1867.  Married, 1813, Elizabeth Fuller, born July, 1793, died June 20, 1871, at East Davenport; daughter of Benjamin Fuller and Rebecca Wilder.

Benjamin Fuller was born at Stow, Mass., February 11, 1741; died at Harpersfield, Delaware County, New York, 1824.  Married 1st Ann Blood, at concord, Mass., March 11, 1762, by whom he had two sons, Ephraim, who was a Revolutionary soldier, and Stephen.  Married 2nd on November 21, 1774, Rebecca Wilder.  He removed from Massachusetts to New Fane, Vt., where he was constable and Lister or Assessor, was a Revolutionary soldier and taken prisoner.  His name appears on the Vermont rolls on pages 348 and 801.  The Vermont records of service in the Revolution are very incomplete.  He often talked with his children and grandchildren of the hardships he endured while in prison.  Prior to 1790 he removed to Stamford in Delaware County, New York.  He was a descendant o Thomas Fuller of Woburn, Mass., who came to America from England in 1638, the line of descent being as follows:

Thomas Fuller, who came to America from England in 1638, and settled in Woburn, Mass., died in Salem, June, 1698, Elizabeth Tidd, daughter of John Tidd of Woburn, who embarked at Yarmouth May 12, 1637, aged 19, who was the mother of his children, and after her death, on August 25, 1684, married Sarah (Nutt) Wyman, who died May 24, 1688.  He married 3rd Harriet (Palmer) Wilson; date of birth, marriage and death not found.  He was a blacksmith, a subscriber to the Town Orders of Woburn, drawn up in Charleston, of which Woburn was previously a part, in December, 1640.  He bore the title of "Seargeant" in 1656 and of "lieutenant" in 1686; was a Selectman in 1663, 1664 and 1685; moved to Salem in 1664 about the time of Elizabeth's death, but returned in 1684.  In 1663 he purchased 300 acres at Salem, in that part now known as Middletown.  His will made June 9, 1698, was probated at Salem July 4, 1698.  The legatees were sons Thomas, Benjamin, Jacob; daughters, "Dean," Ruth Wilkins and her daughter, Deborah Shaw, and her two sons and three daughters - Ruth Wheeler, grandson David Richardson, and granddaughter Bethia Fuller, and Ruth Wheeler.  His son Jacob was executor.

²Jacob Fuller, born May 14, 1655, in Woburn; died November 15, 1731, in Middletown; married June 14, 1683, Mary Bacon, who died July 17, 1741, aged 81, in Middletown.  Mary Bacon was the daughter of Daniel Bacon and Susanna Spencer.  Married 1st August, 1664.  Mary was a twin.  Daniel Bacon was the son of Daniel Bacon, of Charlestown; Freeman there May 26, 1647; was one of original projectors of the Settlement of Woburn in 1640; removed to Cambridge Village in 1669 and died September 7, 1691, and his wife died within four weeks after; she was Mary Read of Bridgewater.

Joseph Estabrook December 17, 1707.  Mercy Hunt was born November 29, 1676, the daughter of Nehimiah Hunt and Mary, his wife; Nehimiah was the son of William Hunt, who was Freeman at concord June 2, 1641, and of Elizabeth, his wife.

⁵Benjamin Fuller, father of Elizabeth (Fuller), the wife of Hosea Reynolds.

William H. Fuller of Palmer, Mass., has recently published a book entitled "Some Descendants of Thomas Fuller of Woburn," of about 200 pages, which supplies information concerning the first three generations of the family in America, for which I have searched long and earnestly without success.

It has been a family tradition that our Benjamin Fuller was a descendant of the famous Dr. Fuller.  The evidence upon which Mr. W. H. Fuller bases his conclusion is so positive that I am convinced that the tradition was not well founded.

The ancestry of Rebecca Wilder is given in the Wilder family history published in book form; it traces the family to 1485 in England and says that on the 15th of April, 1497, in the 12th year of the reign of Henry the Seventh, the King gave to Wilder, his friend, as a token of favor a landed estate with a coat of arms, etc.  Thomas Wilder of Sheplake, Oxon, on the west bank of the River Thames, 3 miles from Henley, proprietor of the Sulham estate, in Berks County, England, died leaving a widow Martha and five children, among whom was Thomas, born 1618, died October 23, 1667, who came with his mother to Charlestown, Mass. and was Freeman there in 1640, and married Anna, who died 1662.  They had among other children Nathaniel, born 1650, who was killed by the Indians in 1704, who married Mary Sawyer, born 1643, daughter of Thomas Sawyer, who came to Lancaster, Mass., in 1647, and his wife, Mary Prescott, born in England, daughter of John Prescott, blacksmith, at Lancaster, who came in 1640 and settled first at Watertown, and removed to Lancaster in 1645.  His wife was Mary Platts of Yorkshire, England.  He was born in Lancashire, England, but lived in Sowbery in the parish of Halifax, in the West riding of Yorkshire.

Nathaniel Wilder and Mary Sawyer had among others: a son Oliver Wilder, born 1694, died March 8, 1765, who married 1713, Mary Fairbanks, born 1692, died June 12, 1745, and they had a son Tilly Wilder, born June 23, 1722, who married Persis House, daughter of Joseph and Lydia House, who was baptised at Hanover, Mass., April 13, 1729.  Intentions of marriage August 4, 1744.  See Hanover Church records by Briggs, Vol. 1, page 117.  Rebecca (Wilder) Fuller was daughter of Tilly and Persis (House) Wilder.  She and her twin sister Lydia were born December 24, 1752, at Lancaster, Mass.  The birth of Rebecca and Lydia appear on page 382 of the published Vital records of Lancaster, which also contain records of many of the Wilder family.  Tilly Wilder and wife on April 27, 1777, took a certificate from the "Chocksett" Church of Lancaster, of which they were members, to the Church of Christ of New Fane, Vermont, as appears on page 379 of the church record.  Tilly Wilder and others had received a land grant at New Fane.  The following appears in the first volume of the Town Records of New Fane:

"New Fane August ye 14, 1787

This May Certify to all persons whom it may concern that the following persons whose names are herein inserted, are professors of the doctrine of Universal Salvation by Jesus Christ, and are constant attenders to hear the preaching of the same, and also do contribute to support the preaching of that doctrine, viz:

Tilly Wilder, Ebenezer Ober, Benjamin Fuller, Ephraim Fuller, Abel Fuller, Thomas Higgins Jr., Ebenezer Robinson, John Pike, Asa Houghton, Joseph Wilder, Edward Smith, Stephen Fuller, signed Thomas Barnes, Teacher in said Society.  Edward Smith, Society Clerk."

The ancestry of Mary Fairbanks was as follows:

Jonathan Fairbanks, born England, came to Boston with his family in 1633, remaining about 3 years when he settled in Dedham, Mass., where he died December 5, 1668.  His wife's name was Grace Lee, who died 28th 10th Month, 1673.  They were parents of Jonas Fairbanks, who was born in England and came to Lancaster, Mass., in 1657, signed Covenant and was one of the fathers of the Town in 1659.  In 1652 he was fined for wearing "Great boots" before he was worth 200 pounds, which was a violation of the Sumptuary laws of Massachusetts.  He was killed by the Indians with his son, Jonathan, February 10, 1676.  His wife was Lydia Prescott, born August 15, 1641, who was also a daughter of John Prescott, the Lancaster blacksmith, and Mary Platts, who married Elias Barron after Jonas' death.  Jonas Fairbanks, and Lydia (Prescott) Fairbanks had a son, Jonathan Fairbanks, born at Lancaster, 7 mo. 8, 1666, died September 11, 1697, who married Mary Hayward of Concord, August 24, 1688.  Their daughter Mary, born 1692, married Oliver Wilder, 1713, and they had a son Tilly Wilder, born June 23, 1722, who married Persis House.  They were the parents of Rebecca (Wilder) Fuller.

Jonathan Fairbanks was one of the first four soldiers who went on long expeditions and shared the hardships and misfortunes of Sir William Phips' ill-fated expedition to Canada in 1690.  He was killed by the Indians in the massacre of September 11, 1697.  His wife was taken captive but afterwards returned hoe to her surviving children.  She married 2nd May 31, 1700, David Whitcomb, of Lancaster, and died June 5, 1733, aged 67.  She was born May 27, 1667, the daughter of Joseph Hayward of concord, born March 26, 1643, son of George Hayward and his wife Mary, and Hannah Hosmer, born 1644, the daughter of James Hosmer of Concord, who came in the Elizabeth from London, 1635, aged 28, and his wife Ann, aged 27, with two daughters and two maid servants.  He was from Hawkhurst, Kent County.  Hannah was the daughter of his 2nd wife, Alice.  Charles W. Fairbanks, Vice-President of the United States 1905-1909, was a descendant of this Fairbanks family.  See Fairbanks' family history.
