Sarah Perkin’s father, William Perkins, Sr. also owned land in Surry County, North Carolina and possibly in Kentucky where some of his sons lived. In addition to Joseph, other sons and daughters of Richard Reynolds, Sr., and William Perkins, Sr., appear to have intermarried according to estate records for Richard Reynolds, Sr., which are recorded in the Chancery Court records of Jefferson County, Kentucky. We have connected into a rather extensive Perkins genealogy which extends your Perkins and related line back several additional generations in Colonial Virginia. Subject to further research and verification during our next research session, we are enclosing pedigree and family group charts for your Perkins genealogy.
We have exhausted most practical sources of information in Patrick and Henry Counties of Virginia, including Pittsylvania County from which Henry County was created in 1776. There were several early Reynolds families that settled in Henry County including three named Richard Reynolds. However, your Richard Reynolds was the most influential and wealthy of these Reynolds families. He along with John Reynolds, Richard Spencer Reynolds, Spencer Reynolds, Nathaniel Reynolds, Sr., and Reynolds brothers Bartlett Reynolds, Moses Reynolds, Jesse Reynolds, David Reynolds, Archelaus Reynolds, Bartimus Reynolds, Reuben Reynolds and Foster Millington [Millenton] Reynolds, who appear to have been sons of the widow Susannah Reynolds who were among the first settlers of Henry County, Virginia. There was also a Hugh Reynolds who obtained a survey for a land patent in 1768 in Pittsylvania who appears related to the above Reynolds families.
Spencer Reynolds and his father, Richard Spencer Reynolds as he is listed in various sources, appear to have been named after the Spencer family who are also listed among the early settlers of Henry County, Virginia. Name and residence patterns of these early families and the Reynolds families of Henry and Patrick Counties suggests that your ancestor, Richard Reynolds, Sr., descends from the Richard Reynolds families of Isle of Wight, Surry and Essex Counties of Virginia.
Subject to further research, name and residence patterns indicate that your Richard Reynolds, Sr., who was born about 1727 in Virginia, was the son of Richard Reynolds, II, and his w
