George Reynolds (Mormon)


George Reynolds was a general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints , a longtime secretary to the First Presidency of the LDS Church, and a party to the 1878 United States Supreme Court case Reynolds v. United States, the first freedom of religion case to issue from that court.

Reynolds was born in Marylebone, England to George Reynolds and Julia Ann Tautz. He spent much of his childhood under the care of his maternal grandmother. His grandmother employed a maid, Sarah White, who invited nineyearold Reynolds to attend a meeting of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints with her. Reynolds received permission from his grandmother to do so Reynolds attended a sacrament meeting of the Paddington Branch of the Church with White, and almost immediately decided that he wished to become a member of the LDS Church.
