RAINE
RAINE family of Clark Co, MO. I am interested in information on the William G. RAINE family who arrived in Clark CO., MO in March of 1851 from KY. There were several other RAINE families that preceded William RAINE's family to MO. William's Wife was Nancy PAWLEY. They had 4 children, Laura Ann, James Pawley, Joseph Shelton, and John Wesley. William died in May of 1852. His wife remarried by April of 1853. She married a man by the name of Henry Dickenson TULL. He was a widower with 10 children. I just came into possesion of copies of letters from Nancy to her family in KY, they span from 1851 to 1871. I am interested in any information on this family, as Nancy had a hard life. In late 1854 there were letters that stated that Nancy's children were having a difficult time with their new family and by August of 1856, they had been separated and were living with other families. The boys were all with members of the RAINE family and Laura Ann was with a family by the name of DALE (Dail?).

My main inquiry is -- What bacame of Laura Ann. The letter of August 13, 1865, says that she had married a fine man, (no name listed) moved to Memphis and had 2 daughters by the names of Nancy Elizabeth and Margaret Ann. The final letter dated, July 1871 says she had moved to Nevada. My Great-Grandfather Joseph Shelton and his brother James Pawley are buried less the 50 miles from my home. I'd really like to figure out who Laura Ann married and if she really ended up in Northern Nevada, as I have no record of her. Note: Other RAINE family members in MO, Joseph Shelton RAINE (William's father), Philip RAINE (William's cousin), George &38; James RAINE (William's brother's, I believe). I'd appreciate any assistance you might be able to offer. Thank you very much for any help you might offer.
