Hi Annie, I assume you have Alexander Martin Rainwater as a child of John Nelson and Barbara (Emert) Rainwater, don't you. My question is this-How can he be their son when his Biographical sketch in the Ore.Donation Land Claim book-pg 525- states he was born 29 Aug 1829. On the 1870 census he states he's 49 (bn 1821).John would have been 22 and Barbara would have been 11 !!! Also I have (from someone) that the md 1823 in Sevier Co.,Tn. A.M. is the only child bn NC. All the others-with the exception of Elizabeth Charity C. were bn in SevierCo.,Tn. Just another puzzle to work out.

I have inadevertently connected John Freeman Rainwater with two Enochs - one the son of John Nelson Rainwater, and the other the son of James Rainwater and Polly McDaniel. Where does he belong?
