Vergil, Were you replying to my post to you or some one else? I hope it was for me and that you will have something to report to me soon! I really hae a delemia with my Daddy Raines. He is suppoedly only to have 5 children. John b. 1765 d. 1845 m. Margaret Dula 1785 in S.C. I can't seem to locate birthdates today, but these are the other children; Susannah, Mary (Polly), Lewellen, and Patsey (Martha) b. 1795 d. 1860 m. Henry Leonard. Now my delemia. John b. 1765 to my Patsey b. 1795 ----30 years ---5 children., and there is none other listed in N.C. as of 1845 when John died. Now, I have a William for 100 Randolph Co., N.C. AND, I truly believe this is my family. 2 males 16 and up --- This could be my Lewellen and John 1 male 26 and up --- This is William(Daddy) 3 females under 10 --- This could be Susannah, Mary (Polly) and Martha (Patsey) (could one of these have died? or a grandchild? uh huh!! 1 female 16 and up--- 1 female 26 and up ---This is Mama. What I really believe is that John's birthdate is a mistake. I think it should read 1785 instead of 1765! But, who is this William??? Nobody can put their finger on this guy!! Does any one out there have data on this fella? I need this Raines!! This would also jack his birthdate up to 1760+. Who was he married to? When did he die and where? Lewellen was already dead in 1845 and his children were heirs of John, his brother that died intestate, without issue 1845 Any help appreciated!
