Eva, I did not get John's Will, but if the Anthony you mentioned who married in 1789 is the one on John's Will then my question is answered. My Anthony is the one in Randolph Co. However, I need help on the 1750-1763 Randolph Co. Rains. They are Ishmael,b.1749,Lawrence,b.1751,George,b.1753,John,b.1755,Robert,b.1757,Anthony ,b.1755/57,John,b.1759,Robert,b.1763,Isaac,Leonard,William,James and Mary. These are mentioned on 1787 TaxList or 1790 Census or on the list of Tories of Randolph Co. or those recruited into Patriot Armies. I know that Lawrence is my 4g-gf and I know that Ishmael is his brother. Possibly Robertb.1757 is also their brother. I know that Johnb.1759 and Anthonyb.1755/57 were in the Patriot Army. Both Anthony and John said they were from Caroline Co.,VA. These folks were all in Randolph Co. at one time. My problem is the relationship if any of these Rains. There is another Robert misc 1729. Any help I can receive on these Rains would be appreciated. I have (assumed) that all were brothers, but now I do not. Some say that Henry the Planter of Caroline Co. is the father, others say that a Robert Sr. is at least Ishmael's father. I say no one can provide proof. This I do know Henry of Caroline Co. is not the father. Well that's my problem , but that is what makes it fun. Ha! Vergil Raines Baxter60@aol.com Thanks so much
