Hello List...I fall into the category of a 'list lurker,' (by choice). I don't have a lot to contribute, but if/when I run across something that might help I will send it in. My family dictates the amount of time I do research, as may by the case with a lot of researchers. So in an effort to participate...I'm sending what I have gathered. Rainwater is my husbands line...his grandmother being Sarah Alice (Allie) Rainwater. I've not confirmed any of the data outside of AR. Hope someone sees something that will strike a cord and help.
