I am a descendant of the Rainwater(s) who came from Jefferson Co., TN to Marion Co., TN and then to Wayne Co., MO. To my knowledge, the first Rainwater(s) in Wayne Co., MO were Vincent (born c. 1792)and his wife Margaret, two of their daughters Cyntha & Elizabeth and a son Francis Asbury Rainwater (born c. 1829). Francis married Sarah Ann Moore, 18 Oct 1845 in Jefferson Co., TN. Their children, Aaron V., Mary, Meyra "Jane" & Rufus were born in Marion Co., TN between 1848 & 1852. Christopher, William, Henry C., George Washington & Thomas B. were born in Wayne Co., MO between 1855 and 1865. ANY information concerning this family would be much appreciated. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- FROM: Brenda Louise Rainwater Garner brenran@ldd.net
