Well, Mr Vergil, You get rested up from taking those tires off that new home, and get back to us soon! Wanted to let you know that my Patsey (Martha) Rains b. 1795 in R.C.N.C., married abt. 1810, my great grandfather, Henry Leonard b. 1789 R.C.N.C., to Jacob and Rebecca Brewer Leonard. They had several children there and in 1829 migrated to Indiana, and had several more children (probably some on the way too). In 1849 they started their migration into Iowa and are in the 1850 Wapello County, Iowa census. I just happened to marry an Alabamian in 1951, and here "I" is!! I always knew even as a kid, that my heart was in the South. At that time, I didn't know where my folks came from, except that a grandmother was born in Kentucky, but my heart knew. ( NORTH CAROLINA and All places South!!) After John died in 1845, and all his estate settled, I understand that Lewellens kids also went West and North to Indiana . Debi Boswick will have that data so I am told. Maybe you will want to chime in here Debi? Mary masdal@ala.net --
As to Rains getting around, one group came (we think) from KY to MO, formed a wagon train and went to CA (Gallant Rains) where instead of digging for gold, they created farms right here where I live in Sonoma County CA. One of this man's relations-- probably his brother--we don't know--started Rancho Cukamonga in Southern CA and from what locales tell me, they used to visit each other once a year. These folks really got around!
