From the headstone in Rainey Dill cemetery there is not
a middle initial of R. Does anyone know who John's father
might be? It appears that it could be William Rainey and
Chloe from NC. They often bought and sold property on the same dates. John was also a witness to a land purchase of William's along with a William Rainey Jr. Any information on this family would be appreciated.
