Biographical Note

Born at Rock Spring Plantation in Patrick County, Virginia, on 20 July 1850, Richard Joshua “R.J.”Reynolds (1850-1918) was the son of tobacco planter Hardin William Reynolds (1810-1882) and NancyJane Cox (1825-1903). Hardin William built Rock Spring Plantation, located near Critz, Virginia, in 1843on land first purchased in 1814 by his father Abraham “Abram” Reynolds (1771-1838). The plantationproved quite adept at producing bright leaf tobacco. A tremendously ambitious man, Hardin was asuccessful farmer, merchant, and banker. Hardin, who processed his first tobacco at the young age of18, created a tobacco manufactory to turn the bright leaf into chewing tobacco on the Patrick Countyproperty, and by the 1850s, tobacco was his principal form of income. Hardin also operated a thrivingcountry store on the land selling a variety of goods such as corn, oats, coffee, sugar, cloth, clothing,bacon, flour, peaches, and boots. By 1860, Hardin William Reynolds owned nearly two dozen propertiesconsisting of 8,000 acres in Patrick County and 3,000 acres in nearby Stokes County, North Carolina. His59 slaves made him one of the largest slaveholders in that area of Virginia. Hardin and Nancy Jane CoxReynolds had 12 children including R.J. Reynolds, founder of Reynolds Tobacco Company, and his olderbrother Abram Reynolds, father of Richard Samuel Reynolds, founder of Reynolds Aluminum.

Before becoming a vital player in the industrialization of the New South, R.J. Reynolds worked for hisfather’s tobacco business, attended Emory & Henry College from 1868 to 1870, and eventually finishedat Bryant & Stratton Business College in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1873. In 1874, R.J. Reynolds soldhis share in the family tobacco business and moved south to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where heestablished his own plug (chewing) tobacco factory in 1875. In 1888 he incorporated his business as theR.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. Introductions of new tobacco blends and innovation in advertisingmade Reynolds a success. The popularity of Prince Albert smoking tobacco, introduced in 1907, andCamel cigarettes, first appearing in 1913, made Reynolds Tobacco number one in the tobacco industry.Inaddition to his shrewd business dealing, R.J. was known as having a genuine concern for his employees,both white and African American. R.J. opened doors to economic development and left a lasting legacy ofcharitable giving.

In 1905, Reynolds married Katharine Smith (1880-1924) and found a loving partner to match his driveand ambition. R.J.’s first cousin once removed, Katharine Smith of Mount Airy, North Carolina, was thedaughter of Zachary Taylor Smith (1847-1938) and Mary Susan Jackson (1855-1926). A student at theNorth Carolina State Normal and Industrial College and a graduate of Sullins College in Bristol, Virginia,where she earned a degree in English literature, Katharine worked as a secretary at the Reynolds TobaccoCompany before marrying R.J. in her parent’s home in Mount Airy on the morning of 27 February 1905.After a honeymoon trip to Europe, the couple settled in a mansion at 666 West Fifth Street in Winstonnear the Reynolds tobacco factories. Between 1906 and 1911, the couple had four children: RichardJoshua Jr. “Dick” Reynolds(1906-1964), Mary Katharine Reynolds Babcock (1908-1953), Nancy SusanReynolds (1910-1985), and Zachary Smith Reynolds (1911-1932).

Proving herself to be equal to her husband’s business acumen, Katharine Reynolds began buying landafter her first year of marriage. Over the next several years Katharine would purchase 27 tracts of landthat would become the 1,000-acre Reynolda estate. Building and landscape work at Reynolda began

in 1912; its creation was part of the American Country Place movement. Katharine hired Philadelphia-based architect Charles Barton Keen to design the family’s home and all of the buildings on the workingfarm. New York landscape designers Buckenham & Miller drew up the master landscaping plan but weresoon replaced by another Philadelphian practicing landscape architecture, Thomas W. Sears. The finalestate consisted of a 60-room bungalow; formal gardens; 16-acre Lake Katharine; recreational facilities;Reynolda Village, home to the estate’s workers; Five Row, resident houses for African Americanworkers; Reynolda School, and a model farm where local farmers could learn progressive techniques inagriculture, dairying, livestock raising, and horticulture.

The Reynolds family moved to Reynolda upon the house’s completion in December 1917, when R.J.was already seriously ill of what is now believed to have been pancreatic cancer. R.J. died on 29 July1918, and his funeral would be the first public event held at Reynolda. After her husband’s death,Katharine donated land to be turned into a high school to be named after R.J. Reynolds and paid for anew auditorium, all designed by Reynolda’s architect and landscape designer Charles Barton Keen andThomas Sears.

In 1921, Katharine married her second husband J. Edward Johnston (1893-1951), whom she had hiredas principal for the Reynolda School. During this time Reynolda continued as a working farm and dairywith the addition of a polo field. Katharine gave birth to two children during her second marriage--LolaKatharine Johnston, who died at birth, and J. Edward Johnston Jr. (1924-2005). A few days after the birthof her son with Johnston, Katharine died in New York from a blood clot.

Following Katharine’s death, Reynolda was held in trust for the next ten years. In 1935, oldest daughterMary Reynolds Babcock purchased the estate from her siblings. Together with her husband Charles H.Babcock Sr., Mary modernized the estate adding a sunken garden to the bungalow’s main entrance, anindoor swimming pool, and a recreation themed basement with a modern bar, game room, floors forskating, a shooting gallery, and bowling alley. Initially the Babcocks spent only holidays and vacationsat Reynolda, living primarily at their home in Greenwich, Connecticut. During World War II, while herhusband Charlie was serving with the United States Army, Mary moved her four children to Reynolda,where the family would relocate year round in 1948.

During the Babcock’s tenure, Reynolda slowly ceased being a working farm, and the family donated orsold much of the estate’s acreage. The most notable donation was the 350 acres given to Wake ForestCollege in 1946 for the school’s relocation from Wake Forest, North Carolina. Ultimately, the Babcockswould give 605 acres to Wake Forest University, including Reynolda Gardens and Reynolda Village.

After Mary Reynolds Babcock’s death in 1953, Charlie Babcock remained at Reynolda with his secondwife Winnifred Penn Knies, whom he married in 1954. In 1964, Babcock established Reynolda, Inc., anonprofit dedicated to arts and education. The Babcocks’ oldest daughter, Barbara Babcock Millhouse,became its first president, and under her leadership it became Reynolda House Museum of American Artin 1967.

Sheriff's Records,

- Page 35 -

Sheriff's Records consist of papers belonging to Transou Scott, Sheriff of Forsyth County in 1932 and

the lead investigator in the death of Smith Reynolds. Reynolds was shot on a sleeping porch at Reynolda

House on the night of 5 July 1932. Present in the house were his wife, broadway singer Libby Holman,

and their friend Ab Walker. Holman and Walker's accounts of the evening drew suspicion, and the pair

were indicted by a grand jury for Smith's murder. With insufficient evidence, the state of North Carolina

opted not to go forward with the case.

These records contain the bullets and shell casing recovered from the sleeping porch, handwritten

notes by Scott, and an examination order issued to Scott to examine the records of the Western Union

Telegraph Company and the Postal Telegraph Company in Winston-Salem. The bulk of the series

consists of letters sent to Scott by interested parties offering their professional services to aid the

investigation, anecdotal evidence, or their opinions on the shooting, it's subsequent investigation, and the

characters of the involved parties.
