Information from Robert Lewis Raupp, great grandson of John L. Rainey

Information based on the following correspondence:JOHN LITTLETON RAINEY
Date: Sunday, September 16, 2001 9:39 PM
Dear "Donnace7": I was just wondering why John's children were not listed on
this site. He was my greatgrandfather, and I understand that he and Florence
Tilbury had five children: Anita Blanche, Hattie, Nellie, Julian C. (J.C.),
and Max Harvey. Anita was my father's mother. The reason I was tracking
this info down was for the lineage from Benjamin Rainey, the Revolutionary
War Patriot. I know that J.C.'s daughter, Delores Currie nee Rainey, was
installed in the Daughter's of the American Revolution based on this
ancestry. Robert Lewis Raupp
