47th REYNOLDS FAMILY REUNION

10:00 AM on Sunday May 18th, 2014

Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church

in Tyrrell County NC

This is a reunion of the descendants of William Reynolds Jr. and his sister Matilda Jane Reynolds Spencer, both originally from Chelsea, England.  William Reynolds Jr. lived in Tyrrell County and became a Primitive Baptist Preacher, while Matilda Jane Reynolds Spencer lived near Roper in Washington County and ran a local store.

Also, everyone is encouraged to bring any items of family interest that they have (such as old pictures, family bibles, diaries or handiwork) to the reunion for "show and tell".

THIS YEAR'S PROGRAM:

Cynthia (Cyndee) Reynolds Rabil, of Arlington, Washington, has prepared our program on her family research. “James and Sophia Reynolds in England – Drama and Changes” is the story of  2^nd son James, brother of our William Jr. and Matilda, and the newly-discovered details about the Reynolds life in England before they came to America. Cyndee was formerly a researcher in cytogenetics and headed the departments of bone marrow and tissue culture in genetics for the Dr. Arthur Robinson laboratories. She has applied those research skills to her newfound interest in our Reynolds Family Geneaology, and has quite a story to tell!
