My 2nd great grandfather, Henry Reynolds, was one of the first settlers in the early days of Rockport. At one time, it was known as Enoch City. I will send more information. I have a lot of information that belongs to my aunt. When the water is down, you can see part of the old dirt road. My mother used to ride on the road with her family. She is no longer with us today. Also, my great grandfather, William Reynolds, was an Indian Scout during the 1890's in Park City, Utah. He scouted for indians in the Deer Valley ski area. He also wrote articles in the old Park Record (Down Memory Lane). When he was scouting for indians, he saw deer running through the trees and coined the phrase "Deer Valley". We still to this day do not know if he was ever named as the one who coined the phrase. - Diane Stamps
