     The first two children were born in Salem; the last two in Cambridge, where all were reared and educated.  Mrs. Hyatt began the historical collections of the Reynolds family, and they have been made the foundation of this book.  Throughout the development of the large Reynolds genealogy over the last twelve years by the present compiler, Mrs. Hyatt has shown constant interest and helpfulness in its preparation.  Mrs. Hyatt has resided in France, Germany and England at various times, and has spent most of her interesting life in the atmosphere of Harvard and Princeton Universities.  She now resides in Princeton [1928], with her elder daughter.  Both daughters have attained distinction in the fine arts, and the younger, the well-known sculptor, is a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.  Her grandson Alpheus Hyatt Mayor has just completed residence as Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University.
