By the time of the birth of son Richard in 1833, they were living at Putnam County, Indiana.⁵ By the of the 1840 U.S. census they had moved again and were living in Grant County, Wisconsin.⁵ They appeared on the census of 1840 in Grant County; That census recorded the fallowing for James: "Males: under 5 (1), 5-10 (1), 30-40(1); Females: under 5 (1), 5-10 (1), 30-40 (1.)⁶" James Reynolds and Martha Rosanna Ramsey also appeared on the census of 27 August 1850 in E.

From a History of San Joaquin County: "James Reynolds passed away July 22, 1867. survived by his widow and seven children: Eliza, Richard, David R., Rosana, James A., Eldridge and Edward, the latter two being twins."^1,9,10,11 He was included in the Biography of David Ramsey Reynolds; The fallowing is from Tinkham, George H., History of San Joaquin County, California , Pages 441-442. Los Angeles, Calif.: Historic Record Co., 1923. Transcribed by Gerald Iaquinta.

For the past sixty-nine years, David R. Reynolds has been a resident of San Joaquin County, and he is naturally most familiar with the history of those early days, his mind bearing the impress of the pioneer annals of the Pacific coast. In San Joaquin County he took up his abode and became influential in the progress and development of his locality.

Mr. Reynolds is a native of Putnam County, Indiana, his birth occurring May 1, 1835, and he was one of five sons born to James and Martha (Ramsey) Reynolds, both natives of Kentucky. The eldest son, Richard, a farmer and miner at French Camp, San Joaquin County, died 1915, being then eighty-three. The other three sons are Eldridge and Edward, twins; and James A., residing at Capitola. His great-grandfather in the Reynolds line was a soldier of the Revolutionary War, and his maternal grandfather displayed equal valor in defending American interests in the second war with England. When David R. Reynolds was in his fourth year his parents removed to Grant County, Wisconsin, becoming pioneers of that district. Wisconsin had not then been admitted to the Union, and amid the wild scenes of frontier life our subject was reared to his eighteenth year, when the family started for California across the plains, being from May until September upon the way. They first settled near the present site of Placerville, but in the fall of 1854 came to San Joaquin County, where the father, James Reynolds, settled upon a ranch near French Camp. He entered land from the Government, and was one of the earliest residents upon what is known as the sand plains. There he remained until his death in 1867, assisting in the pioneer development of the county.

Cutler Salmon, who crossed the plains with the party of which Mr. Reynolds was a member, served in the Black Hawk War in Wisconsin and received from the U. S. Government a claim for 160 acres of land. David R. Reynolds purchased this claim from Mr. Salmon. This was at the time of the second election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency of the United States and Mr. Lincoln’s name appeared on the deed to Mr. Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds farmed this place from 1855 to 1860, then returned east via Panama to Wisconsin. There on May 11, 1862, he married Miss Isabel Harelson, a schoolmate of his boyhood. In 1864, with his bride, he crossed the plains the second time and located on his ranch where he farmed for fifty-two years before retiring and moving to Stockton. He at first owned 160 acres, but as his financial resources increased he added to this property until he owned 320 acres. In the early days grain ran about fifty bushels to the acre and Mr. Reynolds in addition raised considerable stock which he pastured on the San Joaquin River. He was a member of the Grange and the cause of education and religion received his hearty support, serving for twenty-six years as trustee of the Union school district. Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds are the parents of five children: Melvin E., Clyde H. and Matt C. are deceased; and the two daughters, Henrietta and Gertrude Belle. There are two grandchildren, the children of Clyde H; Gertrude Isabel and M. Clinton. Miss Henrietta Reynolds is widely known for her activity in the restoration of the East Union Cemetery near Manteca. A number of years ago she undertook the plan to restore the church and cemetery to its former beauty and she has worked hard and faithfully among the families of the pioneers and with the aid of the Native Daughters of California, the cemetery has been restored and is a monument to her efforts. A new wire fence has been built and a concrete archway constructed bearing the inscription “Union Cemetery, Memorial to the pioneers of the vicinity.” A memorial tablet on the east side of the arch gives the names and dates of the deceased pioneers, the first name being that of W. O. Lewis who came to California via Mexico in 1846. This almost forgotten burial place of the hardy pioneers now shows signs of loving care and the residents of San Joaquin County owe a lasting debt of gratitude to Miss Reynolds for her efforts in restoring this noted and historic cemetery. Miss Gertrude Belle Reynolds is an elocutionist of exceptional ability and a great favorite at Stockton where she has appeared repeatedly at concerts and entertainments. Perhaps no other of Stockton’s daughters has received as numerous and flattering press notices as has Miss Reynolds.

D. R. Reynolds is one of California’s most honored pioneers. When living at Hangtown, he became acquainted with Mr. J. M. Studebaker, in 1853. Their acquaintance grew into a lasting friendship. Later on Mr. Studebaker went back to his old home at South Bend, Indiana, and then began to build wagons and buggies on an extensive scale. Mr. Studebaker stuck with the gold camp at Hangtown for five years. He did not meet with any great success as a gold-miner, so directed his energies to making wheelbarrows and tunnel cars in a small shop at Hangtown, which was the real beginning of the great Studebaker manufacturing concern, now one of the greatest corporations in the land.

On May 11, 1922, Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage at their home 745 East Sonora Street, Stockton, which was a happy event in the lives of these old and esteemed pioneers. Mr. Reynolds has a clear mind and a remarkable memory of the events of the early days, his own experience in mining at Hangtown, the depredations of bandits and the swift justice meted out by the Vigilantes. His name should be enduringly inscribed upon the records of the early settlers of San Joaquin County.¹²

He was born the only child of Elihu Pinney, himself a son of Lt. Abraham Pinney of the Connecticut 18th Regiment that battled the British at Lexington in 1775. The lad was sent to live with his grandfather in Connecticut, and at 10 entered the Windsor Academy to prepare him for college. In 1828 he graduated from the University of Georgia and was admitted to the Georgia Bar to follow his father in law. But while a senior at Georgia, explains Stough, "he attended a revival and discovered a new calling" — missionary to Africa. The commitment much dismayed his father; Pinney was disowned, and taught a year in South Carolina to pay for ministerial training at Princeton Theological Seminary. Upon ordination in 1832, he was selected to be the first Presbyterian missionary to Africa. Around then, he joined the American Colonization Society, which was attempting to establish a haven for escaped and freed slaves who wished to return to Africa., He was trying to right a wrong," says great-great-grandson Henry Wellington Stough III. In 1847, while Pinney was pastor of the Presybterian Church in Washington, Pa., Liberia declared independence from the United States. On Saturday, Liberians celebrated their 163rd anniversary of independence at the Liberian Embassy in Washington, D.C. Lincoln finally gave U.S. recognition to Liberia in 1862. Pinney sought, and received, appointment by the Liberia's President Stephen Benson to represent the new nation's interests in the U.S. as consul general. On Nov. 14, the appointment was recognized in a letter signed by President Lincoln and Seward. He would serve in this capacity until 1865".⁹
