    3. Hi Dan, Sorry, I think you misunderstood me. I meant to say Viney was Lillian Lavinia, not Vianna who was another daughter altogether. I gave where I got the information from in the letter you forwarded about 6:30 tonight. It was from a grand-son of Lillian Lavinia who married as 4th wife to Henry Overton Cagle. I'm pretty sure he's from that marriage and not her 2nd husband as he talks about Henry Cagle in his letter. You mentioned Pinkney Ferron R posibbly having older sisters. Yes he did, however Susan isn't one of them. I have been working on Solomon and Ruth Felton Rainwater's descendants for the last year and have quite a bit on them, if anyone is descended from that line. I think this Susan is possibly one of the daughters of John and Susannah R. of Spartanburg Dist. Even though they are not listed in the final distribution, they may have already had their share of John's estate before they left SC. The first Rainwater I show living in Paulding Co.,Ga(on 1850) is Allen (bn 1814-SC) and his wife Nancy T.Lambert.They have 3 children; John Daniel bn 4 Nov 1842-md Rebecca Linton and died 19 Aug 1920.Samuel P. bn 1844, md 24 MAy 1861 to Sarah Lakey ;Mary Jane bn 1846 and md Robert Wesley Dison. It's very possible that he is her brother and they've moved together.The "Pinkney" name was prevalent after the RW. There was a very famous commander by that name so a lot of little boys fot named Pinkney. Hope I don't get anyone more confused. Hopefully, that's what this forum is for. To help us clear up problems. Glidie
