There is a marriage record for a George Reynolds who m. Thomasyn Church 20 Jan 1585 at St. James Clerkenwell. [A True Register of all the Christenings, Mariages, and Burialles in the Parishe of St. James, Clarkenwell, from The Yeare of Our Lorde God 1551. Edited by Robert Hovenden. Vol. III, "Marriages 1551-1754". London, 1887.] There is no record of any children of this couple in St. James Clerknwell Parish.

The will of Henry Hobson of Bristol, proved 27 May 1636: ...[to]...My kinsman Christopher Reynolds, son of George Reynolds, deceased, and Anne Reynoldes, sister of the said Christopher (at twenty one or day of marriage)... . [Henry F. Waters, A.M., Genealogical Gleanings in England, 2 Vols. Balto: Genealogical Publications Co, 1969 (reprint edition).] Although this Christopher and Anne are children of a George, there is no evidence that they are the Christopher and George of interest in this article.

Re: George Reynolds & Thomasyn Reynolds

”While Robert Reynolds, of Boston may be descended from George & Thomasyn Church, the only evidence at this point is a book by Col. Tillman that has no source material, and Tillman's work has since been found by the Reynolds Family Association to often be unreliable. As of September 2020, consider this ancestry of Robert Reynolds as speculative.“
As of March 2019, Y DNA testing shows that John Reynolds of Watertown was not the brother of Robert Reynolds, of Boston and they do not share a common ancestor. John was disconnected as son of George Reynolds & Thomasyn Reynolds
