Mabry.... I have Ancestors from Wilkes and Elbert County Georgia, no Rains though. Have researched there. Elbert County was made from Wilkes. Alot of people from Virginia and N.C. migrated there. There was a large wagon making company there about 1810. Their also famous for their blue rock quarry. My Ancestors fought for the "Goshen Blues" their in the Civil War. Here's some Rains marriages I found in my KING papers for Elbert County I thought I'd post in case it helps anyone:: CATHERINE RAINE- BRYANT MASON 12-5-1816.... MARTHA RAINES-DEMSEY BROWN- 1-11-1820.... JOHN W. RAINES- LUCINDA HICKS 12-18-1828... JOSIAH RAINES- SARA DENNY 4-5-1832.. ( Last one is Wilkes County ) JOHN RAINES- NANCY S. GIDDENS 3-6-1828. There's a book called the History of Elbert County by a man named MacIntosh, it didnt have my Ancestor in it but you may find something out about yours. Theres a nice man at the Elbert County Website who has the book and will do free look-ups.
