SOME ACCOUNT OF MY FATHER

His name was James McReynolds. He was born in the county of Tyrone, Ireland, as near as I can ascertain, about the year 1724, within two miles of the town of Dungannon. He was 17 years old when he, with his mother and her other children, settled in the county of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He wrought at his trade, which I have already stated to be the carpenter, until some short time after his marriage. In the 25th year of his age he married my mother, Mary Bell. It was, if I mistake not, the same year in which he was first united to my mother that he became also became united to the Lord Jesus Christ, in the bonds of a living and, to him, indissoluble union-- a union this which he never afterwards esteemed infinitely valuable. It was two years after his marriage that he removed with his family from Pennsylvania to Virginia. He rented and made one crop on Little Roanoke River, in Charlotte county. He bought land and settled in Campbell county on Falling River, on which place he lived all his days. He was a very industrious man and acquired a standing among the most reputable planters in the section of
county where he lived. He acquired, by honest industry, a plentiful living. He was honest even to a proverb. When speaking of moral honesty, it was frquently said, as honest as James McReynolds. His reading, though not very extensive, was sufficiently such to give a knowledge on general subjects far superior to most of his acquaintances. He was fond of political and historical subjects, but books of Devinity and the holy Scriptures were his principal books. To these he chiefly confined his studies. He was, in all respects, as many of his former acquaintances can at this day testify, a valuable member, both of civil and religious society. He was of middle stature, well proportioned, strongly built, and had, until length of days changed it, black hair. He died of an influenzy, on the third day of his illness, in all the triumphs of a living faith. The last enemy to him was disarmed of all its horrors.

Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are,
Whilst on his breast I lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there.

----Watts.

Faith builds a bridge
From this world to the next,
O'er death's dark vale,
And all its horrors hide.

----Young.

"Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end b e like his."

My father departed in peace on the 25th day of June, 1807 , and was buried next day inside of a stone wall by him erected on his own plantation, which wall encloses a number of other graves. As nearly as I can come at it, he died in the 83rd year of his age. I had alike to have forgotton, that my father, in the days of his earliest love, when he saw the name, Jesus, he had such a veneration for the letters that he often had a fear that he was guilty of idolatry in idolizing the creature. I think I can say with safety that I never once heard him mention any of the names by which the Devine Savior has made himself known without a flow of tears from his eyes. He was immoderately fond of Herney's Meditations; he read it with the greatest satisfaction, very frequently, and said that the reason that he loved it so well was that the author spoke so honorably of the great Redeemer.
