Melva, the Raines group that I speak of was the very 1st group that I eliminatedas beening part of my line. This John had been previously married and I could never find who she was. Amy had also previously been married and best I remember ha 4 sons by that marriage. Yes I have the Mitchell's history. This whole group of Rains & etc have been will researched. They were one of the few Rains groups not starting as indentured servants. Its my Rains group North of the James that I have trouble with. I want to know with all my heart who my 5- great grandfather was. He's there but who. Nice talking to youand take care, we might be cousins, I claim all until I'm proven different. Bye The Verg
