Anderson c1935-pg 488-489. Estate papers for Hugh CUNNINGHAM in Richmond,NC showed the following: Hugh Cunningham died probably in late summer or early fall in `1857. In Jan term 1858, B.B.McKenzie, his administrator,petitioned the court to sell the land of his "intestate" (Hugh). The land was a tract of 250 acres in Richmond Co on the forks of Rocky Frok worth $1.50 to $2.00 per acre. The land descended to Hugh Rainwaters(sic) and the children of Mary Rainwaters, his heirs at law "who are not residents of this state." The court ordered that publication be made within the state requiring the defendants to appear at the Mar term of court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions on the third Monday in Apr to show cause why a sale may not be decreed. As the estate papers contain an account of the sale, apparently no heirs appeared to object to the sale.They probably never saw the advertisement in the papers and never even knew of their inheritance until after the sale. The information above came from Sandy Patterson (Mrs.Irvin V) of Lee's Summit, Missouri. I plan to check it out the next time I'm in Salt Lake, which will be the 15th Jan. I would like to find the final settlement papers for him. I have found the filing of the petition for probate for Hugh in Ark by his son Francis Marion . Hugh died "intestate" so an inventory had to be made of his holdings. (GS#1290718-Bk D pg 261). As I said, this is only the first paper filed, there are a lot more. His land:Hugh Rainwater;Vol.Ar0830.007 Land Ofc.Batesville, 30 Sep 1873. Doc.#7659,Cash Entry,;Part # 1:W NW. Sec 35 Twp 17N R2W -Part # 2:N SW,Sec 35,Twp 17 N,R2W containing 160 acres. There is (or was) a researcher named Edward T.Bearden,1257 W.Maple Rd Flint,Mich 48507 working on this line. I have several more I'll have to dig out also. Sorry about the last message-my computer blipped and I lost the message. (it got mailed un-completed.)

For a while they had my William md to Caroline Davis as they were both in Marengo Co.,Ala at the same time. Mine md 1823 and the other one in 1828. How much had Len given you of what I've sent him so far? That way I won't duplicate anything you may already have.I was just on the internet and Lisa Rainwater says that H.E. died in 1937 in Jones Co., Tx. I'm not sure just where she has gotten this information but I'll check it out as soon as I go back up to Salt Lake to the library.I have followed Ransom's 2 sons, William H and Thomas L down to 1920, which is the last census open to the public. I know Wm H. remained in Tx and raised his family and died there. Thomas L went to Ark., then to Okla.I've only followed 2 of Thomas's son's (He had 9 children-8 living).I plan to copy some things and send them to Len and I can send you a copy also. Just give me an address. My mailing address is P.O.Box 400; Sunnyside, Utah 84539-0400. My phone # is (435)888-0427. Do you want as far back as I can also? Len gave me the rest of William (1806) and Sidney's children in Ms and when he did I was able to solve another puzzle that I've been working on since 1979. I have about 30 family group sheets on the John Calvin Rainwater family in Wayne Co.,Ms. Plus on the 1870 census the 2 youngest boys are listed as "orphans" meaning their father was deceased but not necessarily the mother.(John Calvin and Benjamin Franklin "Frank" However, I cannot find Sidney on the 1870 census. Perhaps she md between 1866 and 1870. All the Creels seem to come from S.C.,Tn and Ala. One of John and Anna's children-William md Sabra Whittington whose daughter Lillian md Joseph Warren Sprinkle. One of their descendants is doing research on the Creel line. I'll close for now as it after 1 am. Let me know what you have already and I'll try to fill in as many gaps as I can.
