George was born before 1754 in Caroline County, Virginia.

He married Susannah Lansford or Lunsford on 12 June 1770 in Henry County, Virginia. They had the following known children, as proven by SAR and DAR-approved members and his Last Will and Testament. Oddly, there are no known children whose birth dates fall in the first decades of marriage.
	Elizabeth “Betsy” was born in 1780 and married Richard Hughes.
	Nancy was born on 11 December 1781 and married John Johnson.
	Pryor was born on 30 September 1783 and married Prudence Morehead.
	Susannah was born in 1784 and married James Hughes.
	Polly was born in 1786 and married Samuel Cox.
	Fannie Jency was born on 6 March 1789 and married Walter Bennett.
	George Jr. was born about 1794
	Sarah “Sally” was born in 1792 and married Cordial Faircloth.
	Bethany was born in 1794 and married Walter C. Haleg.
	Thomas was born about 1798 
	Richard was born on 1 January 1800 and married Mary Stone.

The family settled in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. In October 1779, he was appointed a Lieutenant in the Virginia State Line. He was recommissioned in August 1780 as a 1st Lieutenant.  

A public entry from February 1782 states, “Geo. Reynolds from Capt. Peter Hairston for 36 ½ pounds Bacon while on the march to the assistance of General Greene.” Another entry from March 1782 states, “…2 bushels and a peck of corn for forage from horses one night, furnished Lieutenant Reynolds on his march to General Green’s army.”

At least one older SAR application states he also served as a Captain, but no evidence has been found to support that claim. Both the SAR and DAR give his highest rank as that of Lieutenant.

After the war, he moved to Rockingham County, North Carolina, and then Williamson County, Tennessee. The Patriot died sometime after his will was written on 21 May 1813.
