Mary Joyce Reynolds grew up with her many siblings in Patrick County, Virginia on their father's, Hardin Reynolds, tobacco farm, Rock Spring Plantation. The Reynolds acquired the property Rock Spring Plantation is on in 1825 when Hardin's father, Abram Reynolds, purchased 598 acres of land at the base of No Business Mountain. Abram had two sons with his wife, Mary Harbour, who he married in 1809. Because Hardin's only sibling, David, died at a young age with no spouse or children, Hardin was the sole heir to all of Abram's property. Hardin went onto build a two-story brick house immediately after marrying Nancy Cox in 1843. They had 16 children of which only eight lived to adulthood. Nancy had two sets of twins that died immediately, and then in 1862 Typhoid fever hit Rock Spring Plantation killing three. They're all buried at the Reynolds' Homestead Cemetery.

Mary Joyce Reynolds married Andrew Murray Lybrook on March 13, 1867. They built a home on a hillside overlooking the Mayo River located not far from Rock Spring Plantation. Andrew moved to Patrick County from Giles County after serving as captain of Company I, 24th Regiment Virginia Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War.

His great-grandparents, Catherine Reihm and Philip Lybrook, traveled from their home in Germany to Holland where they boarded the Bennett Galley in Rotterdam with 258 other passengers. They arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on August 13, 1750, and then got married on May 4, 1754. They ended up moving south and settling at the mouth of Sinking Creek which attached to the New River in Giles County, Virginia where they had six children.

The Lybrooks stayed in the area until Andrew Lybrook moved 80 miles south to Patrick County, Virginia which is connected by the New River. Mary and Andrew's home overlooking the Mayo River in Patrick County is where their eight children grew up. After the death of Mary and Andrew, most of their children moved to Winston-Salem to be closer to the Reynolds while two of their sons, Will and Samuel, moved to New Mexico and built large ranches. Samuel moved to Albuquerque where he raised sheep, and Will moved to Lybrook, New Mexico where he built the Lybrook Homestead with his wife Lottie and raised their three boys, Dick, Sam, and Bob.
