Sandra I believe that Ambrose was related to Elizabeth Rains father Anthony. I will go over my Rains notes and see what I have there .I don't believe he was in his immediate family .I believe that they lived near each other in south east Randolph Co.where John w Poe also is found John W Poe also spent some time up near Liberty , as that area was on the 1820 tax list the John W Poe district .It seems like the more I study his line the more I find that these families didn't just live near each other , they married into surrounding families and migrated together , many from Va to the Carolinas on one deed that I found in Essex co. Va. for The Nicholson family, in 1752 there were 7 of the 9 family names involved either as sellers ,or witnesses , that are later found near the Randolph Co line just in Chatham Co , or just in Randolph Co. in 1800 .Many of those names when investigated, show relationships to each other ,either through marriage or as neighbors .I am convinced that one can almost trace their own families by researching the names of those that are found near them ,on deeds ,and estate sales ,and census .Chances are that if one finds their ancestor, on one of these documents ,that their families are near by . I will look and see what I can find for you . in my files .
