grandmother's side, whose maiden name was Dumont, were
French Huguenots, who were persecuted by the State church for
their religious opinions, and some of whom fled to America.

belonged to their ancestors, and which are not only treasures to
the antiquarian, but are mute witnesses to the nobility of soul
which will not sin against conscience at the command of tyrants.
Mr. Reynolds' maternal grandfather was Captain Moses
Guest, who served in the Revolutionary war, and was a man of
great purity of character, and some poetic talent. He
formerly lived in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and came to Ohio
