I have directions to the TRAYNHAM cemetery, but I don't know anything about the Z.R. initials. I'm sure I only paid attention to my folks, and I don't know of a connection to the RICE family. I descend from the TRAYNHAMS. Godspeed...

I am descended from Mary "Polly" TRAYNHAM (1806-1850) who md. Mastin N. STONE. She was the dau of Wm. TRAYNHAM and Rebecca POOLE TRAYNHAM. William TRAYNHAM was the son of David TRAYNHAM and Karenhappuch VAUGHN, both of whom were born in VA, but were buried in Greenville Co., SC, prob. at the TRAYNHAM Cemetery. There were two cemeteries, but one had to be moved several yrs. ago and was moved to the sight of the other one. I do have pictures of some of the markers. I know that most of the above were buried there. Let me know if you need anything else; I don't have anything on the particular individuals you mentioned. Godspeed...
