Daughter of Benjamin H. & Adeline P. (FOARD) REYNOLDS, who married 12 DEC 1822 in Baldwin County, Georgia. Married Davenport Phelphs ELLIS (Sr. - he evidently married subsequently 28 JAN 1848 in Harris County, Georgia, to Martha G. OSBORNE.

"Historic Linwood Cemetery," compiled by Dolores Autry, Volume 1 (edited by Lea L. Dowd & Carol Johnson), p. 161, shows in Section A, Lot 268 of Linwood Cemetery: Mary P. REYNOLDS, born (unable to read) 1815, died (unable to read), wife of (unable to read), daughter of Benjamin & Adeline [FOARD) REYNOLDS [apparently, much of the inscription on this grave marker had become illegible, probably due to weathering, and some of this rendering appears to be in error].

The monument appears to say: "MARY _______ / wife ? of ? / ________________ (last name could be something like KELLY or NEELY) ? / daughter of / BENJ. H. & ADELINE / P. REYNOLDS / died Nov. (? or Dec.?) 10 ? 1845 ? / in the 22nd year / of her age"

This grave does not seem to be included in the listing from a 1943 survey of Linwood Cemetery by the LDS Southern States Mission.
