General Notes: Husband - Henry Reynolds

---

He was born in England, came to New Jersey in 1676, landing at Burlington after a voyage of twenty-two weeks. He settled in Chichester township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, where he resided until his death.

In the year 1676, after a voyage of twenty-two weeks, one Henry Reynolds, a member of an old Chichester (England) family, landed on the shores of the New World. This was forty-seven years prior to the birth of Joshua Reynolds, the most noted painter of his day, and the "bright particular star" of the family connection. Henry located at Burlington, New Jersey, and finally in Chester, Pennsylvania, and he and his immediate descendants were extensive freeholders in and about Philadelphia, many acres of the present city then having rested in their title. To him and his wife ten children were born.

From an honored family of Chichester, England, of noble lineage, in the year 1661, Henry Reynolds, after a tempestuous voyage of twenty-two weeks from England, landed upon the shores of the New World. He first settled at Burlington, New Jersey, and later at Chester, Pennsylvania, he and his descendants becoming extensive free holders of land, now incorporated in the City of Philadelphia.
