John Reynolds's Will?

Aunt Helen's genealogy lists Wait Reynolds (Wait Reynolds Loveless's grandfather) as having been born in Alburgh, Vt. His father (again from Aunt Helen) was named John Reynolds.

There is a will for a John Reynolds described on the Web here. Could it be the right one? The names are right: wife Lucy, sons Wait and Elisha, for instance. I suppose this merits some further investigation.

Wow! Here is a listing for what may be John's father's (Elisha's) will!

In case these pages go down, here is contact information for David J. Ellis, the page's creator: [dr.ellis@physics.org]. The original information appears in The Books of Record for the Town of Alburg, FHL US/CAN 27771, Book 12, pp. 357-360 (for John's will) and Book 7, pp. 198-201 (for Elisha's will).

I know of the grave site of Elisha Reynolds and the cemetary. I grew up in Alburgh on the Reynolds property. Elisha was the oldest of my decendents I was told. I have the geneology from the front of a family bible. I have started looking for Elisha's line in Rhode Island and Europe. Thanks for the information about the wills.
