So-o-o-o, Does anybody know who this William is?? I am very interested. Cleve, do you know when this Henry Jr. and this William was born? Thanks for any information. Mary masdal@graceba.net **************************************************************************** ************* Rains researcher, Gary Raines, made a statement several years ago that Henry Rains, Sr. of Caroline Co. had another son, William. However William was not mentioned in the will. The pension application of William Rains, R-8561, reportedly identifies William as a brother to Henry Rains, Jr. of Hardin Co., Kentucky, born in Caroline Co., Va. I have not seen this pension application myself.
Does anyone have further information on William Raines pension application R8561? This William reportedly the brother to Henry Raines Jr, of Hardin Co. KY, b. Caroline County. Does anyone have birth date of William, date of pension application, or further information? Thanks Barb
R8561 states ( 2 affadavits) that soldier William Rains had served with his brother Henry Rains. William Rains m. Anna "Nancy" Williams on 5 Jan 1792 in Spotsylvania Co VA, soldier died in Mar 1810. Soldier lived in Caroline Co., Va at enlistment. Widow Nancy or Anna applied 1843 Spotsylvania Co., VA. I have a copy of the abstract of this pension file R8561 but not a copy of the original file. There is a pension file S313317 for a Henry Rains, who lived in Spotsylvania Co., VA at enlistment. He applied in 1832 in Hardin Co., KY. No children's names or wife's name is given. He may be the possible Henry Rains who was the brother of William.
