• Notes

  About 6 years after the death of his father, Lieut Thomas Reynell, i Sept 1777 at the battle of Freeman's Farm during the American War o f Independence, Richard Littleton Reynell joined his father's old Regi ment, the 62nd, as an Ensign with a commission dated 23 May 1783. Give his young age (11 years old), this late-war measure may have been do e to afford him an income. Posted as an Ensign in one of the Regiment 's additional companies, Reynell, along with the other additional comp any officers, was soon after placed on half-pay due to post-war downsi zing. Later in life, he settled in America, dying in Baltimore, Maryla d. He and his youngest brother Thomas both came to inherit the Barone tcy of the Reynell family (missed by their father due to his death), w hich terminated upon Thomas' death in 1848.
