The name Reince is probably a family name made into a first name, like the name Joy Morton, a male, had. His mother’s maiden last name was Joy. (We’re related to that family too.) My great grandmother had a brother named Masury (looks like misery to me) He was named after a grandmother’s maiden name. By the way Masury is an ancestor of Hugh Hefner, which makes me a third or fourth cousin to Hefner, whom I have never met, by the way.

Very interesting .. thanks for that  :-)

That was my supposition about it too, but someone upthread who sounded like they knew what they were on about said that it's more likely a shortening of the German Reinhold.

Or somethin' like that .. lol
