Surnames: Gaines, Cammack, Piner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5BC.2ACI/1597.2.1 Message Board Post: I suppose "your" Thomas Piner could be the one that married Nancy Cammack. They were married 7 Aug 1842. They had a daughter, Catherine, who married John Robert Gaines. His mother's name was Elizabeth Cammack Gaines. I am guessing that Nancy and Elizabeth were sisters but I need some concrete proof. In the 1850 census, Elizabeth and Walker Gaines were living in the Catherine Cammack household. She is probably the mother of Elizabeth (Nancy?). Elizabeth's marriage bond states that William Cammack is her father. There is no marriage bond for Nancy Cammack and Thomas Piner but they were married the same year, by the same minister, and in the same county (Rockingham) as Walker Gaines and Elizabeth Cammack. I know nothing about the other Gaineses you mentioned.
