The following list shows -- to the best of my current understanding -- the children of James and Elizabeth Jackson Rains. Some believe there were ten of them but no descendant seems to know all the names. My particular problems relates to my gggggrandmother Martha Rains Price. There are records showing both Martha and Polly married to a Richard Price. Were there two sisters, Martha and Polly who married the same man or perhaps two men with the same name? OR were they one and the same, that is, Martha Rains called Polly? Hope someone can shed light on this question. As always with the genealogy I dig out, this is a work in progress, so don't repost it without asking me first. You may be propagating errors! 2.
