Biography

Account of Sarah Dixon McReynolds in Benjamin McReynolds Papers:^[1]

".....Joseph, in Ireland, married Sarah Dixon, a sister to the paternal grandfather of of my (Benjamin McReynolds') second wife, by whom he had Joseph, Robert, James, John, Samuel, William and two daughters whose names I do not know. One of them married a man whose name was John Reed.

My Uncle Joseph was among the most religious men of his age, nor was his wife, in this respect, so far as I can judge, a whit behind him. I was well acquainted with them both, and although they both denied the Doctrine, I firmly believe that they both lived many years and at last died in a state of Christian perfection. My Uncle and my father both embraced religion in the Whitefieldean revival in Pennsylvania. They were baptized, if I mistake not, by Gilbert Tenant, and joined the Presbyterians, and both supported a regular and reputable standing in the church until they were called to join the Church triumphant."
