Research Note

This profile is one of 11 Reynolds profiles incorrectly listed as children of James Beasley and Ann Reynolds. I have disconnected the relationship, leaving them unconnected because I don't know where they actually belong. Here is a list of the disconnected Reynolds profiles:

Catherine Reynolds Reynolds-13359 Charles Reynolds Reynolds-13358 Mildred Reynolds Reynolds-13357 James Reynolds Reynolds-13356 Elizabeth Reynolds Reynolds-13355 Theodocia Reynolds Reynolds-13353 William Reynolds Reynolds-13352 Sarah Reynolds Reynolds-13363 John Reynolds Reynolds-13361 John Reynolds Reynolds-13360 Edmond Reynolds Reynolds-13362

There are Reynolds families connected with this Beasley line but they are of Essex County VA, not Albemarle/Orange Counties referenced as Russell Jones and Ann Beasley.

Biography

Catey Beazley was the daughter of James Beazley (or Beasley) and his wife Ann. Her birth was recorded in Orange Co. Deed Book Vol. 17.

She married in 1787 to Fielding Neal. They married in Orange County and her father appears on the marriage record.

Catey was widowed prior to April of 1792, the date Fielding's inventory was recorded in Orange County. She remarried to Jacob Paul the following year. A suit brought in Orange County by James Beazley, guardian & next friend of Mary Neale, against Jacob Paul & wife Catherine indicates Mary was the only surviving child born to Catherine's first marriage.^[1]

The death of Catey Paul was recorded in the family bible of her brother James Beazley and transcribed from that record when his widow Mary (Sandford) Beazley filed for a widow's pension for his service during the American Revolution.

Catherine was born in 1772. She was the daughter of James Beasley and Ann Reynolds. She passed away in 1810.
