[NI226] Alexis Renoll (Electious Reynolds) was born in the year 1653 probably on the the Island of Jersey. He appeared for the first time in the records of New England when he took the oah of allegiance in Salem, 1678. He married Mary Peace, a daughter of John Pease, July 16, 1686, and they lived near the village where two or three children were born to them.
About the year 1690 Alexis took his family south to the town of Middleborough. Even before he had left Salem his name had begun to undergo a change. From Electius Ranals in Salem records, it became Electious Reynolds in the town records.
Electious was one of the founders of the Congregational Church of Lakeville (1725). It was than a part of Middleborough. The church was known as the Precinct Church. For his services in King Philip's War he received a grant of land in the town of Greenwich in western Massachusetts. This was apparently taken up by his grandsons and may tend to explain the movement of the family to old Hampshire County where they become residents of Shutesbury, Orange and New Salem. The old gentleman, Electious, died in Middleborough, in 1738, "aged 85 years."
Only three persons besides the founder have borne the extraordinary name of Electious. These were his son born in 1706, a grandson, Electious III, Revolutionary War veteran, and a grate-grandson, Electious Reynolds Randall.
