    Notes:

    Renald (or Reginald) Fernald, a pivotal figure in early Portsmouth, New Hampshire, was among the first settlers, arriving in 1631. Sent by Captain Mason, he was notably the first surgeon in the area, showcasing his medical expertise which may have originated from his service in the English Navy. Throughout his life, Renald significantly contributed to the community, holding various key positions including Clerk of Court, Recorder of Deeds, Commissioner, Surveyor, and Town Clerk.

    His judicial involvement was marked as early as 1634 when he served on the grand jury, and he continued his civic duties as a recorder in 1654. Renald's residence on "Doctor's Island" (now known as Pierce's Island) was where he spent his final days, passing away between May 17 and October 7, 1656. His final resting place is believed to be at Point of Graves Cemetery in Portsmouth.

    In addition to his professional and civic roles, Renald was an active church member from May 25, 1640. His familial legacy includes his wife Joanna, whom some sources suggest he married on January 1, 1619, though her maiden name remains uncertain with suggestions like "Warburton." He was also the father of sons John, Samuel, William, and Thomas, with William Fernald later becoming a lieutenant, safeguarding valuable items on Fernald's Island during the tumultuous times of 1694.

    Renald married WARBURTON, Joanna in 1624 in England. Joanna (daughter of WARBURTON, John and Mary) was born on 1 Feb 1603 in Bristol, Gloucestershire, England; died on 10 May 1660 in Portsmouth, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA; was buried in Portsmouth, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA.
