      Bishop's History of Roane county:
      Thomas Reynolds and his wife Lucinda (Tolly) Reynolds, were among the oldest of the pioneer settlers on lower Spring Creek: Thomas was a son of Reuben Reynolds, of Rockbridge County, Virginia, a soldier of the War of 1812. Thomas Reynolds left two sons, William Lane Reynolds and F. Asbury Holt Reynolds. William L married Emily D, daughter of Joshua and Samantha (Miller) Runnion, of this union one son yet surviving is Joshua Thomas Reynolds, of the City of Spencer, now serving as office deputy of Walter A Carpenter, the sheriff of this county.
      Of the several sons and daughters of F Asbury H Reynolds, we here mention Alonzo Silas Reynolds, a resident of the City of Spencer; he has served two terms as justice of the peace for Spencer District, years 1916 to 1924, inclusive; he is now office deputy of Gordie Boyles, the present assessor of the county.
