REYNOLDS, J. B. ...."is a native of South Carolina, born in Edgefield district in 1843. His father, Wiley Reynolds, was a son of Thomas and Nancy (Harris) Reynolds; and his mother, Dolly (Burton) Reynolds, was the daughter of Nathaniel and Susan (Aswell) Burton, all South Carolinians by birth. In 1846, when the boy, J.B. Reynolds, was but three years old, his parents came to Georgia and settled on a farm in Meriwether county, where he was reared, and received such school privileges as were afforded in the little log school house of the district. He enlisted in 1862, joining Company F of the Fifty-fifth regiment, under Capt. Henry Baker. Although he served faithfully to the end of the war he had the singular good fortune not only to escape being wounded or captured, but even to escape being in battle. Upon his return from the war Mr. Reynolds received from his father eight hundred acres of land, on which to make his home, and this, well improved, and added to, has been the foundation of the competence which he now possesses. In 1864 Mr. Reynolds married Miss Amanda Glisson, a native of Crawford county, born in 1849. She is the daughter of Brinkley and Amy (Riglan) Glisson, natives of this state; her father served both in the Indian war of 1836, and in the Mexican war. Both Mr. Reynolds and his wife are members of the Missionary Baptist church. They have six children: Anna, Dida, Henry W., J. B., Lillie and Emmett."

ROWE, James A....."is a grandson of William Rowe, a native of South Carolina, who was one of the pioneers of the what is now Monroe county, where he settled in 1804. His son, James, born in South Carolina, married Miss Narcissa Lewis, daughter of a revolutionary soldier, a native of South Carolina. Their son, James A. Rowe, was born in Monroe county in 1824, and passed his early years on the farm in that county, coming to Meriwether county in 1836. His early advantages were confined to such as were obtainable in the old log school house in the country. His natural energy of character has enabled him to make his way in the world. In 1861 Mr. Rowe enlisted in the Meriwether revengers under Capt. Hall. In 1862 they reorganized and Mr. Rowe was made captain of Company E, Twenty-eighth Georgia regiment. Capt. Rowe took part in fifty-two battles, many of them being among the most important and fiercest engagements of the war; such as Seven Pines, seven days at Richmond, Wilderness, Ocean Pond, Fort Sumter, James Island, Fort Fisher, Johns Island, battle of Winchester, and many more. It was not to be expected that he would go unscathed through so many direful encounters; he received eleven wounds during the war. After the declaration of peace he returned home to make a new start in life. He has devoted himself to farm work and has succeeded in making for himself and family a competence and a pleasant and comfortable home. He married in 1848, his wife, Miss Nancy A. Malcolm, being a native of Walton county, born March 23, 1832; her parents, Alexander and Mahala (Nelson) Malcolm, were early settlers of that county. Capt. And Mrs. Rowe have eight children living: Thomas B., Milton, Walter, Allen J., Alfred C., Virginia, Harriet and Mary.is a son of James and Narcissa (Lewis) Rowe, and a brother of Capt. James A. Rowe. His paternal grandparents were William and Mary Rowe, those on the side of the mother were William and Mary Lewis, all natives of South Carolina and among the early settlers of Georgia. Young Allen was born in Monroe county in 1835 and early transferred to Meriwether county, where he passed his childhood and youth upon the farm, gaining such education as he could with his scant opportunities. In 1862 he enlisted in Company B of the First Georgia cavalry, under Capt. Strickland. He fought in many of the hardest battles of the war: Big Hill, Murfreesboro, Perrysville, Chickamauga, Philadelphia, and was in the force that surrendered at Salisbury, N.C. After the surrender he returned to his home on the farm, to the careful and wise management of which he has ever since devoted himself. Mr. Rowe has worked with energy and planned with care, and has thus acquired wealth and enlarged and greatly increased the value of his broad and beautiful plantation, and is a man to whom all give the esteem he merits. He has a large and promising family. He wife was Miss Harriet Malcolm, daughter of Alexander and Mahala (Nelson) Malcolm, the former a native of Walton county, in which he died in 1859. Mrs. Rowe was born in Meriwether county in 1840, and is a member of the Primitive Baptist church. Mr. Rowe belongs to the Masonic fraternity. They were married in 1855 and have been blessed with thirteen children: Alice, Ella, William, Lewis, Hattie, Savannah, Alexander, James, Nannie, Stella, Mattie J., Henry C. and Jackson.
