Irish Canadians
The first waves of Irish immigrants took place between 1763 and 1880. when ten thousand Irish immigrants arrived on the Island. From 1800 to 1850, "10,000 immigrants from every county in Ireland" had settled in Prince Edward Island and represented 25% of the Island population by 1850.
Reynolds (surname)
Like many Irish families, the Reynolds began emigrating from Ireland in two fronts, early in America's history; As they settled in the northeast prior to the American Revolution. And later in the 19th century during the Great Irish Hunger, when millions of Irish Catholics came to North America. The first wave of Irish immigrants were most exclusively Anglo-Irish Protestant converts from Northern Ireland; which differentiates them distinctly from the second wave of Irish potato famine refugees, whom were evidently Roman Catholic and from Mainland Ireland.
