[210] Olive first appears in 1798 records with her husband. As I understand, not much is yet known of her family. There is no record of Olive after 1830. Immediately prior, she is presumed to be the woman living in her son, Isaac's household, listed as a female between the ages of 65 and 75.

Wesley was about 7 years old when his family moved to Kentucky. He and
wife, Jane lived in Wayne County until 1839, before appearing on the
Johnson County, Illinois census of 1840. However it is surmised that
before this stop in Illinois, he and his family were in Indiana for a
very short time. This is reflected by the birth of his daughter, Jane,
March 24, 1839, which took place in Indiana. It is probable that they
lived either with or near Wesley's brother, David. By 1842, the family
was living in Searcy County, Arkansas, and in 1850, Cambpell Township
in Searcy County. This lay just south of Timbo at the foothills of the
Blue Mountains. Wesley's sons, James and William lived nearby in
Wiley's Cove, where Edmond (an assumed son of John and Olive) was
also located. The 1860 Arkansas census lists Welsey "Branscombe" and
wife, Jane, living in Locust Grove Township, Searcy County. It is
unlikey they moved, rather the Arkansas towns boundaries frequently
changed during this period. Wesley's occupation changed from
blacksmith to farmer.
Wesley was a quite successful farmer, also acquiring property in
Blanchard Springs and land south of Pleasant Grove, over an eight year
period.
He never actually lived on this property. Vivian Argo, an associate
of Frederick Tubbs, Branscum genealogist from New York, states that
Wesley donated a few acres of land to the Ramsey Cemetery, where many
Branscums and Warrens lie.
Etha R.Cooper (daughter of Ina Mahala Branscum) related a story
regarding Wesley and the Civil War found in an old letter. She states
that "Wesley did not believe in slavery." Family lore reports that
Wesley's sympathy for the Union side initiated a rift between his
family and other Branscums that lasted generations. Residing in this
predominately Confederate state many rifts developed among the
Arkansas Union sympathizers and their fellow statesmen.("Yellar Rag
Boys",S.L.Weaver, 1992).

Exerpt From: "Run Made Across Cherokee Strip", by Tess Stegman Ellis (Friday, April 3, 1987, St. Joseph, Missouri Gazette) [article sent to me by Ms. Lucinda Teaford of Missouri written about Tess Ellis' grandmother, Malinda Jane Rainey] ('Uncle Sam' refers to Samuel Rainey, brother of Melinda's father, Joseph)
I wonder if Malinda Jane Rainey, a mere slip of a girl from Gentry County, MO., ever really realized that she was a part of the early history in the making of a new frontier.
She had gone to Oklahoma to visit her 10 cousins, the children of her Uncle Sam and Aunt Frances Rainey They had lived in DeKalb County, MO., but on March 27, 1891, they started the move to King Fisher[sp?], Okla., to make their home...
...The Second land run was Sept. 16, 1893. It was at that time that Malinda Jane Rainey was visiting her aunt, uncle, and cousins. Sam Rainey decided to make the run across the Cherokee Strip for his 125 acres.
Hattie was about Malinda's age, and her dearest cousin and friend. We know the two girls made the wild ride in the wagon with Uncle Sam, but we wonder if he took his wife and the other nine children. If so, don't you know they made a picture in their wild dash for land! I can just see the calico dresses and bonnets and apron strings flying. The long brown stockings and high button black shoes!
They staked their claim 10 miles east of what is now Enid, Okla.. They lived there 10 years and then moved into Enid. It is not known if some of the older children stayed on the claim.
Malinda never talked much about this exciting bit of history, just the fact that she was there.
On Sept. 20, 1896, Malinda Jane Rainey was wed to tall, handsome Isaiah Ferguson and settled down to homemaking 1 1/2 miles west of Berlin, Mo.. They had five children, Gerry, Velma (my mom), Maurice, Lawrence, and Wilbur. At the age of 38, when Wilbur was just six months old, Isaiah died on June 29, 1910 leaving Malinda to raise her children alone. Her parents, Joseph and Mary Rainey along with her brothers and sisters were a great help to her.
And as I sit here, I can picture my grandmother still.
Tess Stegman Ellis
Albany, Mo.
[389]
Samuel lived with his parents until c. 1850, then with his wife and
children in Gentry County, Missouri c.1858-1880. They moved to
Sheridan in Oklahoma Territory c. 1890. A Samuel RAINEY is enumerated
as a participant of the April, 1893, Oklahoma Land Rush- the largest
of the reknown runs. I believe this is the same Samuel -both moved
from Sheridan and staked claims in Enid, Garfield County.
8/10/02- I have changed the spelling of Sam's middle name to 'Swinney', based on the information provided to me by Roy G. Rainey, his grgrandson.
[392]
Samuel Sweeney RAINEY lived here until his death. His sons, George and
William lived Kingfisher County, Oklahoma (south of Garfield County)
during this period, along with their uncle, Samuel's youngest brother,
John. George purchased land in Kingfisher on Sept. 28, 1889 and later
sold this 160 acre tract to his uncle, John Rainey, February 28, 1890.
Samuel's son William also purchased land May 17, 1890 in Kingfisher,
160 acres on a five year note, from John A. Bell. George authored a
biography in 1937. William was the 1900 census enumerator for
the Skeleton area of Kingfisher County.
