My Rainer ancesters were from France and they owned a plantation in Virginia. My GGrandmother was Sarah Rainer. She married Peter Woltz and they lived in Ohio. He was a Civil War soldier from the north so they dis-owned Sarah and she and Peter eloped on horseback. Would appreciate any help. Mary Van Atta
