FRANCIS REYNER

 

 

FRANCIS REYNER, a farmer of Tulare Township, was born in Montgomery County, Maryland, in 1834, where he resided until the spring of 1851, when he moved to Iowa, where he made his home for eight years. He crossed the plains in 1861 by ox teams, arriving in Stockton after a five months’ journey. He came to Tulare and rented 320 acres of choice land of John Travis, which he farms, his principal product being grain. He owns his own farming implements and stock.

      He was married to Mrs. Louisa (Birdwell) Travis, a daughter of Richard Travis, who was born in Missouri in 1834. They have two children--Francis D. and Mary E., the latter being Mrs. Reyner’s daughter by her former husband.
