So glad to join the Raynor list. Maybe I should have waited a few days for more folks to join, but ..... Anyway, I descend from Elizabeth Raynor and do not have any info on her except that she married Thomas Southworth on Sept. 1, 1641 in Plymouth. Their daughter, Elizabeth, married Joseph Howland. Then their daughter, Mercy, married Joseph Hamlin/Hamblin... etc.... Does anyone know the parents of Elizabeth Raynor? Shirley Wicker Hendrix Murray, KY HENDRIXS@prodigy.net Only a genealogist regards a step backwards as progress.

I am looking for my 8th gr grandparents... can someone help me? I am really confused on the dates... it almost seems as tho there is a generation missing between John ROSE and his son Martyn.. John ROSE b 1619 England d Southampton, Suffolk, Long Island, New York md ................. Southampton, Suffolk, Long Island, New York TO Abigail RAYNOR d/o THURSTON and Elizabeth (.....) RAYNOR b ................... Wethersfield, Hartford, CT d ................ Southampton, Suffolk, Long Island, New York Doesn't it seem like a long time between John's birth and the birth of his son Martyn? Martyn ROSE b 1686? Southampton, Suffolk, Long Island, New York d ............. " md 1699 " TO Sarah HOWELL b ................ Southampton, Suffolk, Long Island, New York d 1729 " I really do need some desperate help with these dates... Their daughter Sarah married 1701 at Southampton to James HAINES.. Thanks a lot Wilma Fleming Haynes gencon@harborside.com

Hi-Glad there is a list for this surname now, and thank you....My husband's g grandfather was Jonathan Lambert RAYNER, b.ca.1861 Eng. It is oral family history that there were 4 RAYNER bros who came by ship to US and then 2 went to Canada and 2 went to CA for gold rush. Supposedly they came around the Cape Horn to San Francico port, CA too.......ca.1850. Any data or a seemingly cousin line connecting to this would help us.... Jonathan Lambert RAYNER m.ca. 1886 in CA to Sara Emma LOCKART and they remained in the Sonoma Co area at least until I found them on the 1920 Maricopa Co., AZ census. His son and family had decided to go to AZ in 1914 not long after AZ became a state so they could homestead there, so a lot of the family left CA and settled on hundreds of acres of land they farmed in Litchfield Park, AZ. for many years, some went back to CA in mid 1950's, and yet other descendants of this line are still in Maricopa Co., AZ Happy Trails, Joan in MT Also, visit my 4 personal home pages on spirituality and genealogy: http://www.geocities.com/crystalwoman_2000/

I am looking for information on Alice P. Raynor b. 1861 She married Mason M. Walker in Itawamba County, MS in 1879. I need to find who her parents were and a list of Mason & Alice Raynor Walker's children. I know the names of three that died young. Also, I would like to find information on Willie A. Raynor who lived in the same area. The section of Itawamba County that I am looking at for these Raynor's is very close to the border of Prentiss County, so they could be from either one. If anyone has any information on Willie A. Raynor or Alice P. Raynor, please contact me. (I believe Willie to be female). Karen

Hi all, I have just joined this list tonight and wanted to introduce myself. I have been activly researching my family tree now for over a year, and am pretty familuar with these lists. I am new however to the RAYNOR list because this is not in my own family tree. All of my children however are all Raynors. I would like to do my best to see if I can atleast start the genealogy for them. Any help would be most appreciative. I am comming to you with the dreadful, " I don't know much". I have lost contact with my Mother n Law who married a "John Donald Raynor" from Corning NY. So I have to go on what I remember, which isnt much. I am crossing my fingers that there might be someone out there with a large gedcom who has this family listed, however Im afraid they are not old enough to be on anyones gedcoms :( I have John Donald Raynor b? d Corning NY abt. the late 1960's? he married a Barbara Jane Burdick from Tioga Penn.(I think). Barbara would have been born in the 30's and I know that John was alot older than she was. I also know that he died from a piece of metal that was lodged in his brain from a bullet from a war, I dont know what war. but as time went on this piece of metal traveled to his brain and killed him. Ok there is my needle in the haystack. Any help would be wonderful. I don't even know what County this is in. Sherry

Dear Nelda: As soon as a message is received on the list it is already archived... ie: when Rootsweb gets it it is archived immediately. However, I believe it is once a week a "robot" goes around and logs the names into a file which is where the search engine looks for "hits" when you do a name search (I don't know what day "Mr. Robot" does this :-) Your original message was sent on October 19th, so maybe the "robot" hadn't picked it up yet. Is there anyone on the list who has any information they can share with Nelda regarding her search?

I know this is going to sound wierd and I hope one of you can enlighten me. I finally figured out on my own how to view the archives of the RAYNOR List. Obviously it has not been in existence long as there are only a few mesages listed. However, I was dismayed to find that my message of Oct. 20, was not among the list. How could this have happened? Anyway, I'm sending it again because I definitely want it among the messages in the archives so that if ANYONE just happening to do a search finds a common link with my information, we can communicate. Look forward to hearing more about our RAYNOR heritage! Nelda **************************** My grandmother is Lucile RAYNOR HILDRETH.

I'm researching the Raner/Rainer/Rayner/Raynor family of Virginia. I would love to hear of anyone with connections to VA, especially in the 1840 and previous time frame. My personal line deadends with James Harvey Raner born 1821 in Orange Co, VA. In that area I find what I think is a family group, headed by John Rayner a Rev war veteran. I believe he had sons John, George, James, William, Thomas. The name appears connected to Gillespies and Herrons among others. There were marriages for some of this group recorded in Albemarle Co, Va. Thomas moved on to OH. Any and all information appreciated. Thanks Shannon Moore Orlando, FL mailto:mgm@gate.net

Hi, my name is Lori and I am looking for the family of ELIZABETH RAYNOR b. abt 1789 Rockingham Co, NC, d. abt 1839 McMinn Co, TN, daughter (supposedly) of HENRY RAYNOR and ANNA (HANNAH) GOATS. She married my ancestor DOCTOR FLOYD DOTSON b. 1876 d. 1861. Family stories tell us that she may have been Choctaw Indian and that is my research interest at this point in time. Thanks, Lori

My grandmother is Lucile RAYNOR HILDRETH. She was born May 9, 1910, in Parkton, NC, to Major James RAYNOR and Mary Nettie DAVIS. Her parents had a thing for L's--all children have names beginning with L: Lessie Ree, Lester James, Lula Mae, Leetta, Luther Kenneth, and Lossie Eva. Major James RAYNOR (b. December 18, 1880 in Fayetteville, Cumberland, NC) was the son of Kenneth RAYNOR (b. September 01, 1860 in Fayetteville, Cumberland, NC) and Hattie Daniel CALVIN. There is some question about the correct spelling of Kenneth, I've seen it as Kennith. Other children of this union include Carthia Leesther, Luther T., Bettie J., Adonijah, Kenneth L., Lillie, J. R., and Harriet. As a child, I met Aunt Carthia at RAYNOR family reunions and remember that she played the piano well by ear. Aunt Harriet was instrumental in planning the reunions, so I remember her, but she is in a nursing home now. I think I also met Uncle Luther, but my memory is dim. My grandmother's at 89 is al! so dim and she cannot help me much with our RAYNOR family history. Like many things in life, I waited a little late to become interested in this when the people who could help me most are gone. Most of the information I have given here I obtained from the LDS site. Can any of you help me with generations beyond Kenneth RAYNOR? I appreciate any and all information or leads. I have another question...is there a way to see archives of the RAYNOR list messages?

David and Sophia (RAYNOR) LUCE Were living in Dryden Twp (Tompkins) NY in the 1830 Census, Greenwood Twp (Steuben) NY in the 1840 and 1850 Census, and David and his 2nd wife were living in West Union Twp (Steuben) NY in the 1860 Census. Sophia, was the daughter of Josiah and Rebecca (ROBINSON) RAYNOR, and according to my LUCE great-aunts, was also known as the pirate, "Bull the Pirate". Would very much like to make contact with anyone researching this RAYNOR Family line. Sherry Morell Shelts sshelts@absolute-net.com

Dear Tom, I know there is definitely someone out there searching for your 'Mystery Lady", Ruth RAYNOR, and it will be only a matter of time before she is "claimed". Last night, when I first saw your message, I remembered, some time ago, seeing a message on a list (have no idea which one) sent by someone who was searching for an actress named Ruth RAYNOR. I remember, because at the time, I thought to myself that RAYNOR probably wasn't her real name, since having an actress in the family during that time period was not something families were pleased with.

YES, we would most definitely like to include a section dedicated to Ruth RAYNOR on the Raynor Family Association web site, and Tom, if you will contact me privately, we can make arrangements to do so. I will go into more detail about the Raynor Family Association web site later, but I would like to say that it is our hope that this web site will be a place where all of us RAYNORs can place and exchange information regarding our ancestors, and that all of you will contribute information about your specific family members, including photos, etc. More on that later. Many of you might not be aware that there is a Raynor Family Association. If you are interested in more information, please go to the following URL, where you can read about the association. There is also a membership form you can print out if you want to join us, and we hope that you will. If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask. http://userweb.springnet1.com/quest/RaynorFamilyAssociation.htm That's all for now. In the meantime, I want to thank you all for becoming a part of our "group". We can make this list work for us if we will all contribute. Also, if you know of others who are searching for RAYNORs you might suggest that they join the list. BTW, contributors to the Raynor Family Association Web Site, will be acknowledged and credited for the information they send to the site. Contributors will also maintain sole copyright on the information they provide. The space for this web site has been privately purchased and is not a "free" web site owned by geocities, etc. There will be no outside advertising on the site. But, more about that later. Have a great weekend, Karima

Hi All! I have a mystery for you. A thoughtful antique dealer rescued an old scrap book from a trunk he bought. It had belonged to an actress named "Ruth Raynor." The scrapbook is full of clippings from all over the country between 1902 to 1912. She performed with several different groups, and frequently had top billing. At one point her group was actually billed as the "Ruth Raynor Stock Co.," so she must have done well. Several formal portraits were taken at studios in New York, however, I have no idea where she came from, where she went, who her parents were, whether she was married, or what happened after 1912, when the scrap book abruptly ended. Any information would be appreciated. And, of course, if anyone out there is actually related to her, I'd like to share this great find with you! - Tom Raynor

Hi, I'm new to the mailing list and am researching my ancestor Elizabeth RAYNOR, b. about 1784 in Rockingham Co, NC, married William Abraham (Bart) DOTSON date unknown, died about 1839 and is buried in McMinn Co, TN. Any information will be gladly accepted, and I will share any I have willingly. Thanks
