General Notes: Wife - Margaretta Stopp

---

It is related that one day when her eldest child, Mary, was a young babe and George Reynolds had "gone to mill the grain," she saw a file of Indians coming, and snatching up her baby fled to the creek, hiding under a foot-bridge. Her little dog that followed her she wrapped in her skirts, and sat there in terror while the Indians ransacked the house, set it on fire and passed over the bridge. Fortunately the dog did not bark and the baby did not cry. When Mr. Reynolds returned he took them to the blockhouse, where they and the neighbors who had suffered like misfortune lived together until conditions made it reasonably safe for them to build on their own land again.
One boy who had been in the cornfield lost both of his parents as well as his home, and Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds received him into their family, taking care of him until he was able to look after himself.
