- William Reynolds, Hugh Reynolds, William Neely, and William Devin all appear on the 1757 tax list of Martic Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. William Neely is the father-in-law of Hugh Reynolds as shown by his Pittsylvania County will naming daughter Mary Reynolds and grandsons, Joseph and William Reynolds. Joseph Reynolds, son of Hugh, married Margaret Devin, daughter of the above William Devin in Pittsylvania County, Va. William Devin also left a will in Pittsylvania County naming a son, Robert Devin. In his Revolutionary War pension applicaiton, Robert Devin stated that he was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania on 6 Apr 1759 proving that William Devin of Pittsylvania is the same person who was in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. These records show that Hugh Reynolds migrated to Pittsylvania County, Va from Lancaster County, Pa. with William Neely and William Devin. This migration may have included other related families as well. Further research is required here, especially into the Blair family.
