Hello everyone, I'm new to this list and would like to put out a general request. I'm searching for information on my GG Grandmother Caroline Raynor's family, she was born abt. 1848 in/or around Rosehall, Ontario, and married Rev. John Scanlon, a methodist minister, in 1868/9. Doing research from the 1871 Ontario census, I've found that a vast majority of Raynor's living in Ontario lived around Rosehall (Hillier Township) in Prince Edward County, Ontario. A town history states that the town was settled by quakers and other families from Long Island during the late 1700's-early 1800's. From my understanding the Raynor family first arrived in Long Island, then spread out from there. Has anyone down research on any branches that went to Ontario, and settled in this area. I've come across reference of a Townsend Garratt Raynor born in Rosehall, Ontario born in 1863, son of a George Raynor and Edna Garratt. The interesting note was that he was a local Methodist preacher, and I was wondering if Caroline might have a connection to him, as an aunt, cousin, or sibling?, as she also married a methodist minister. Any assistance would be helpful, or if you could direct me to any relevant material that exist on the Raynor's of Ontario and/or Long Island. Thanks. -Bob Chamblee Bellevue, WA http://members.aol.com/JSMFinch/index.html
