Reinhold grows up in Västra Hult in Asby parish. He serves at Asby Vicarage 1824-1833, but then soon manages to get his own croft Kvarnstugan in the vicarage grounds, and on 1 January 1834 he marries the Ingrid Carolina Falk, who is serving at Holkåsa.
They have at least 8 children.
- 1. Hedvig ”Hedda” Sofia Reinholdsdotter (17/12 1834 – after 1869)
- Carl Johan Andersson
- 2. Anders Johan August (1837 – 1838)
- 3. August Reinhold Reinholdsson Ringhold (11/7 1839 – after 1900)
- Anna ?
- 4. Axel Ulrik Reinholdsson (20/10 1841 – efter 1869)
- 5. Anders/Andrew Johan Reinholdsson Reinholt (1/10 1844 – after 1880)
- Caroline ?
- 6. Samuel Peter Reinholdsson (11/7 1847 – after 1885)
- Hedda Maria Johansdotter
- 7. Gustaf ”Gust” Adolf Reinholdsson Ring (6/11 1850 – 1900)
- Crestine ?
- 8. Anton Leonard (28/4 1853 – 1858)
Hedda and Axel Ulrik emigrate to America in 1869, and Anders follows a year later. Their parents remain in Kvarnstugan until 1873 when they, too, decide to emigrate along with August and Gustaf Adolf. They settle on a farm in Skandia, Minnesota, with Anders.
In 1885 they have moved to Ellsborough Township in western Minnesota along with August and his daughter. At the same time, their son Samuel Peter makes the journey across the sea. Thus, in the end the entire family ends up in America.
By 1900, the farm in Ellsborough has been taken over by the brothers Gustaf ”Gust” and August, while their mother has died. They now call themselves Ring or Ringhold as a surname (earlier on it had been spelled Reinholt), a survival from the children’s Swedish patronymic Reinholdsson. They thus found the J1a-branch: The Reinhold family in Minnesota.
