Hi Stephen, By looking at the 1870 Census, page 31, I think the Census Taker made a mistake. If you'll notice a line is drawn from Gilly's name to her son William Rains Jr.. I think she was living in dwelling # 242 instead of dwelling #241 (Applewhite Richardson). Evidently Wm. Sr. died between 1860 and 1870. My data base doe not show Gilly and Applewhite related in anyway. What do you think ?
