Descendants of Elisha Reynolds and Related Families

Elisha Reynolds was born April 4, 1755 in Wilkes County, North Carolina. He served in the Revolutionary War and was part of the Kings Mountain battle. His ancestors have been identified by S.F.Tillman in his book titled, "CHRISTOPHER REYNOLDS AND HIS DESCENDANTS". However,much of Tillman's data is held questionable today and I have included it with that caveat. From Elisha forward, things are pretty well documented. Elisha's son , Ivy, along with his sister, Polly and her husband, Milton Ladd, removed to Southern Illinois about 1817 by floating a flat boat down the Ohio River and docking somewhere near Golconda, Illinois.It is not known how they traveled overland from his home in Wilkes County, NC to Cincinnati. Ivy later settled near Vienna, Illinois.The author of the genealogy you are reading grew up in West Frankfort, a few miles north of the area where Ivy was a pioneer.
Families later related by marriage include CANADA, ENGLE, TRAVELSTEAD, GOSSAGE, ROBERTSON, MURPHY, KERLEY, WEISHAUPT, ACKERMANN, DERBAK, HILCHEY, BOZOVICH, PRATT, RAMSAY, OLIVER, RACKLIFF, BUTTOMER and many others which I have included in my tree.
