Lee Grant (Legrand, Legrant) Hedrick and Eliza Ann Rains were married in Morgan County, MO in 1848. Her parents were George and Jane Sharp Rains who came to Bates County, MO. Lee Grant and Eliza Hedrick eventually went to California in 1875. I have been unable to establish who his parents were and why the couple married in Morgan County, MO. I have found a Sanford Hedrick living near her parents, but am unsure whether this is his father, or perhaps another relative. Buried in the same cemetery in California is a David Myers Hedrick and his wife, Elizabeth. Eliza Rains Hedrick died in 1918 and her husband, Lee Grant Hedrick died in 1920. Does this family look familiar to anyone? If so, I would appreciate any help. Kay Winter

Kay, Sanford L. Hedrick was married to Martha Jane Harvey (my great-grandfather's sister) in 1843. Sanford was born 19 Apr 1824 in Indiana, the eldest son of William Hedrick and Elizabeth Hall. I don't have any information on a Lee Grant Hedrick, but the may well have been related. An interesting part of your query is that Eliza Ann's last name was Rains. Martha Jane (Harvey) Hedrick's next oldest sister, Rosanna Harvey married James Alfred Rains about 1850. Also, their younger brother Giles Walter Harvey married Sarah I. Rains in July 1861, just one month before he was killed in action in the Civil War. It looks like the Hedrick, Harvey, and Rains families knew each other very well.
