General Notes: Husband - Dr. John Cromwell Reynolds


At a very early age he became a pupil of the Nottingham Academy, of West Nottingham, Cecil County, Maryland, under Dr. McGraw, and at the age of twelve years he entered Dickinson College, at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where he was graduated with honors at sixteen years of age. He began the study of medicine under Dr. Nathan Smith, a distinguished surgeon of Baltimore, and had the advantage of practice in the hospitals of that city. He afterwards prosecuted his studies in Washington, D. C., and received the appointment and commission of surgeon in the United States army. His first active service was in the Seminole War in Florida. Afterwards he served in the war against the Cherokees, and took part with General Hunter in the treaty with that tribe at Washington, and in their removal to the reservations assigned to them west of the Mississippi. Later, he served under General Scott, in the Mexican War of 1846-48. From the time of his marriage he made his home chiefly at Lewistown, Pennsylvania, though for a period of about three years he resided at McVeytown.
