Blank My inquiry as to whom some these folks were got a couple of replies. Both Pat Lowe and Martha Rainey sent helpful information. I include Martha's note here as it would seem she is related to everyone in this church. Thank you Pat and Martha. R. M. Rainey is Reuben Marion Rainey (my ggreat-grandfather), Son of Thomas Frederick Rainey, Sr., grandson of Reuben Morgan Rainey. Sid Rainey is Albert Syndey Johnston Rainey brother to Reuben Marion Rainey C. M. Rainey is Charles May Rainey another brother. Charles married Henrietta Battle, daughter of Judge Cullen Lazarus Battle. Mattie Caskey wife of Andrew Marion Caskey is Martha Ella "Mattie" Battle, daughter of Judge Cullen Lazarus Battle. Billie Chatman could possible be George William "Bill" Chapman who married Virginia Lee Rainey a sister to Rebuen Marion Rainey. John Reid married Elizabeth Rachel "Lizzie" Daniel daughter of Julies Daniel and Rebecca Jane Countryman. Julies and Rebecca were early members of Ebenezer.
