In the 1850 census for Montgomery, Orange County, there's a listing for Govenier (have found various spellings) Reany listed as a laborer for the John Shafer family. In 1853 there's a marriage of Cornelia Torrey and Governier Rainey in the Dutch Reformed Church. She's listed as from Crawford and he Port Jervis, Orange County, New York. In both listings, the parents are listed as born in New York. I next found Gouvernier and Cornelia in NYC with a child John (Ranney was the spelling of surname this time) in the 1860 census. >From a City Directory, G.M. stayed in NYC until c 1879 and in the 1880 census he's in Oneonta NY with his (?)2nd wife and 4 children. I have found no records of what happened to Cornelia and John. G.M. (Gouverneur Maurice at this point) married Frances Josephine Dean c 1869. The children would all born in NYC, however, the 4th child, May, is only found in the 1880 census with the family. G. M. was an artist, apparently. He's listed as a Portrait Painter in the 1880 census and while in NYC, he worked or had a business as a sign/banner painter. >From the Delaware County site (where Josphine's family lived), there's a date of December 24, 1884 as G.M.'s death date. I would like to find his parents as well as what happened to Cornelia/John and where G.M. and daughter May are buried. Any help will be appreciated.
