Appendix 7B. AMERICAN McREYNOLDS FAMILIES

JOHN McREYNOLDS AMERICAN DESCENDENTS:

As described in the chapter, Elizabeth Shepherd McReynolds, the second wife of John McReynolds (1665-1760) emigrated to the United States with their four surviving children in 1738. The trip across the Atlantic apparently took six weeks, the provisions became exhausted and the passengers faced starvation. Fortunately another ship hove into sight and gave them assistance. Elizabeth and her children settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. She died at an old age in the home of her son James in Appomattox County, Virginia. Her husband John remained in Ireland and lived with his children by his first wife. The genealogy of the descendants of Elizabeth Shepherd McReynolds has been painstakingly compiled. It is much too large to be repeated here and so we produce only a brief summary of the first few generations. The reader who wishes to obtain more information is referred to ``McReynolds. A Noble Clan'' written by William Howard McReynolds (1980) and available through the LDS library system. The following is largely taken from that reference.

    Joseph McReynolds was born in 1720 near Dungannon. Normally this would imply that the older child with the same name had died in infancy. In this case we cannot be sure of the matter because this would imply that this Joseph was married and had children by the age of 16.

    Robert McReynolds was born in 1722 near Dungannon. With his mother he emigrated to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1738. He died of pleurisy soon after he had completed his apprenticeship as a carpenter. He never married.
