Reynolds families came to America mainly from England, Flaunders, Germany, Holland, Ireland, and Scotland. Early ancestors settled Barbados, Bermuda and Nevis, and in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Virginia in the 1600's. Some also settled Kentucky, Maine, New Jersey, New York, North and South Carolina, and Vermont in the 1700's. Some were Loyalists. During the 1800's, some migrated to Canada, and to Alabama, Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, the Indian Territory, Louisiana, Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio, Utah, Washington Territory, Washington D.C. and Wyoming. Later families also lived in Ontario (Canada), England, Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and elsewhere.

Reynolds ancestry is traced to William Reynolds (1620-1690) who was born in Nottingham, England and married Margaret Exton in Chichester, Sussex, England in 1644. His son, Henry (1655-1724), was born in Chichester and later married Prudence Clayton in Burlington, New Jersey in 1678. He died in Chichester, Pennsylvania. Descendants lived in Pennsylvania, California, and elsewhere. Also includes information on family of George Gilliford Sr. (1775- 1855) of Spruce Hill, Juniata, Pennsylvania.
