Nathaniel: Nathaniel G. Reynolds served in the War of 1812. In 1820 removed to Black Rock near Buffalo & built a second tannery there. He engaged in this and the mercantile business until 1835, when, with his wife and four children, removed to Northern Illinois, reaching Cook Creek in a terrific blizzard. Here they were compelled to leave their oxen and wagons. Mounting their horses, they swam the creek when it was funning full to the banks. The storm was so bad they could not return to their wagons for three days, but found everything as when they left . In Illinois they endured the hardships and privations of pioneer life, and lived to attain great wealth and prominence. The husband was a Justice of the Peace for many years, was County Commissioner, Deputy U.S. Marshall. In 1847 was appointed Colonel of the 103 Regiment. The foregoing from Brace Lineage by John Sherman Brace, 1927, Pages 100-101."
