Samuel McReynolds "...was a native of Virginia and during boyhood was taken by his father, Samuel McReynolds, Sr., to Bledsoe county, being among the first settlers of the valley. Samuel McReynolds, Jr., was a successful farmer and stock raiser, and was probably the most prosperous citizen of Bledsoe county at that time. He died on our subject's birthday, February 19, 1865, on the farm now occupied by I. S. McReynolds, and on the same day the Captain, whose command was President Davis' escort, was forced to surrender near Washington, Ga. For several years the father was a member of the Masonic lodge at Pikeville, and was a Whig in politics and did not favor secession. He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Mary Jane Hale, a native of Blount county, Tenn., and a daughter of Alexander Hale. She died when our subject was a mere child, and the father afterward married Annie Stephens, a daughter of Isaac Stephens, of Bledsoe county. Her death occurred in 1869 or 1870.
By the first marriage the following children were born: Margaret, wife of Judge Frazier, of Davidson county, Tenn.; Alex H. And Samuel M., both farmers of Bledsoe county; Sarah, wife of Alexander Pope, a farmer of the same county; Claibourne D., farmer and stock raiser of Texas; and James W., of this sketch. The only one deceased is Mary J., who died in girlhood. By the second union the children are Isaac S., who lives on his father's old farm; Martha, wife of W. R. Pope, of Pikeville, Tenn.; T. S., also a farmer of Bledsoe county; and three who died in childhood."
