Any help getting started on this line will be appreciated. My great-grandfather was Thomas W. Rains. Supposedly born (1859), lived and died (1933) in Collin Co., TX. He was married to Susan Maetta Burton Dec. 20, 1880 in McKinney, TX. I've written for his death certificate, but that's as far as I've gotten. Wading through the tax and census rolls of Collin Co. is difficult without more information. Would love to correspond with other Rains relatives. I've got tons on my Burtons to share if anyone is interested. Thanks.
