Yes Vergil, I noticed the 2 Roberts 1790. Who are they? Did you say? Can't actually put them with William, Huh! Oh well, you would think after searching and hunting for William for 27 years that I would not be so impatient for bits and pieces to come my way would you!! LOL! I am in Alabama, Vergil, in the Southeast corner, Houston Co., Dothan. There is a lot of N.C. information in our library, but not that much on Rains. I have been in contact with the research librarian in Randolph Co. N.C for over a year, and she could not come up with my parents for my Patsey. She sent me all kinds of stuff from the research room. The only notable thing I recieved on my Rains was when her brother John Rains died intestate and they all had to divide the estate. I got a lot of information there. I got all of Lewellens kids names and their spouses as they were heirs of John because Lewellen had already died. (I have no death date for Lewellen). If I could get to RCNC, I would find what I needed, as I have gone into libraries and courthouses here and found data that folks said was not there. I may have had to make several trips to get all I wanted, but I got it just the same. Its just spending time and not giving up and looking through everything! Not all courthouses have their data in the same books etc. such as marriage, death, wills, orphaned children, discharges, military records, Journals and don't forget Misc. I found this to be true right here in Al. The courthouse records are not all the same.
