An interesting fact about the 1860 census. Wenlock's youngest son, Wenlock Jr. was listed at household #752 with his wife, Martha and their young son, Benjamin Franklin Reynolds who would have been about 1 year old. Wenlock Jr and his family moved to the Tabernacle Church community of Guilford County, NC in 1864.

Another neighbor of Wenlock's was William Riley Neece and his wife Emily who are listed as household # 756 with their daughter, Martha V. Neece, who was 2. One of the sons from this family was Cyrus Caldwell Neece, who married Dora Reynolds, the daughter of Wenlock, Jr and Martha. Cyrus was part owner of the Company Mill in Southeast Guilford County along with Wenlock Jr and one of Wenlock's sons, John Reynolds. John ran the mill and Cyrus ran the store that was located at the mill. The house of Cyrus and Dora still stands near the Company Mill Preserve site, which is part of the Guilford County, NC park system.
