Hi Dan, Sorry I'm kind of late answering your e-mail to Patty.Our oldest daughter is expecting twins in Sept and we've been up to Salt Lake trying to get the basement rooms completed for them. They're going to need all the room they can find to shift things around and they didn't want to wait till the last minute. Now-several corrections on your information-or additions ,if you prefer. John Barto Rainwater was bn 16 Aug 1861 and he md Tennessee Bell Brandon on 31 Oct 1886 in Aly,Yell,Ark. He died 1 Jan 1911 in Stigler,Haskell,Okla.

Miles md 3rd-Sabra Amanda Jane Smith on 23 Aug 1885 also in Douglas Co.,Ga (same #) Sabra was the mother of John B. Gordon Rainwater bn 21 Oct 1886.Gordon md 1st Etta Leola Miller 22 Apr 1903 in Douglas Co.,Ga(She was the d/o Charles Presler and Mahala Jane (Thompson)Miller) He md 2nd Essie Brock. Gordon became a Baptist minister in the Fairhope,Ga area. It's possible that Sabra had been md to a Smith and was a BECK before. On the 1900 census there is a Samuel Beck-age 70(bn Mar 1830 SC) and Elizabeth Beck-age 60 bn TN in the household. Samuel was listed as bro-i-l. The only other thing I question is the Sarah Rainwater who is md to Warren Monroe Posey. She is the d/o ROBERT RAINWATER AND MORNIN (?). She was bn in Spartanburg Co.SC. Robert and Mornin moved to Stewart Co.,Tn in the early 1800's. Robert died by 1820 and Mornin settled the estate and moved to Bedford Co.,Tn to be with her other son. I've researched this family quite thoroughly and I am still working on it periodically. One son John and his wife Frances (Byrd) remained in Stewart co.,Tn with the exception of the 1850 census when they were in Trigg Co,Ky, then they moved back and remained in Tn. I hope I haven't completely bored you by this time and I hope I've helped someone.
