    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RSB.2ACE/1680.1.1 Message Board Post: Hello Larry, Thank you for your most prompt response to my query. Wouldn't you know that someone who lives closer to the site would find someone from Alabama to give him directions!!;-) Your directions seem very clear, and I will use them, without reservation to locate the site. I am sorry that the building no longer exists. There is a Primitive Baptist Archive center in the town of Elon College, NC, and I had planned to go there to see what kinds of documents, photos and such that they might have. If I put out the word that I am looking for photos in the neighborhood, there is that possibility that someone might have a old snapshot around. I will keep your address around so that I can contact you if my luck continues in this search. I am hoping that some of those tombstones outside the fence will prove to be some of the Wells. My gggg grandfather was Miles Wells who is supposed to have been instrumental in the establishing the church as an offshoot of Wheelers Church, because of the long distance travel required to attend services at Wheelers from where they lived. Miles died in 1828, and we suppose that he was buried there. His son, Willis Wells joined the Lynches Creek Church in 1814, became a deacon in 1821, ordained as a minister in 1840 and was chosen as paster in 1849. So the Church is important to our family history. Kindest regards, John Fox Winston Salem, NC

    3. I am also looking for Rainey family graves, particularly those Virgil M. Rainey and wife Sarah Thomas Rainey, and would like to ask Larry if the Blaylock records contain those names. As always thank you for the favor. I would be happy to share information about this Rainey family. Marilyn Symonds Houston
