Elsie Gracie Gainey Black

auntnahna1 — 2015-08-08 03:15:51Z

I'm trying to find information concerning Elsie Gracie Gainey. I was in contact with someone who's uncle knew her. But something happened & they would no longer return my emails. I know there are not happy stories concerning Elsie Gracie. They have to do with her husband George Alan Black. I'm not one to be offended or embarrassed by what you turn up with family searches. I would appreciate if anyone knows of her pass history. I came into this family after she died. I would have loved to talk to her. Thank you, Donna

GAINEY/GANEY/GANY, William and Thomas

mulane37 — 2015-06-22 20:30:58Z

Believe a William Gainey moved into Chowan County, NC from Isle of Wight, Virginia. William received a land grant in March of 1713 in Chowan County. His will was settled in November 1739 in Bertie County, NC. His son Thomas was executor. Thomas subsequently moved with his wife Martha and sons, Annanias and Stephen, into the Marion, SC area and settled on Catfish Creek.

Does anyone have knowledge of William Gainey of Chowan County, NC? Or does anyone know anything about his parents in Isle of Wight County, Virginia?

DynastyBoyProtege — 2015-01-30 01:01:44Z

From what I gather Matilda was a Grooms (maiden name) whom were of the Pee Dee Tribe....In SC alot of natives were classified as white or mulatto...Matilda and her husband are mysteries to most...everyone I have asked for more details have hit dead ends...That being said it is a very good chance of Pee Dee blood but not to sure about Cherokee... The Grooms family from Cheraw/Chesterfield have long been known to be of Pee Dee decent

Re: JOHN GAINEY - CHERAW, SC

strwberri2 — 2015-01-27 06:43:12Z

Hello
Matilda Gainey is my 3x great grandmother (Jack > Duncan (Gilbert) > Arthur). Any information you have would be great. I have only been able to see that she was the head of household/property owner through census records.
The family rumors is that there is Cherokee/Pee Dee on that side of the family and I read that during those times Native Americans could be marked as M or W for race.

Hello jolierey, I do not recognize those names, but out DNA says that we are related.

The sisters were Sarah Kendrick Jackson and Elizabeth Kendrick Jackson. They were daughters of Nancy "Ann" Kendrick. Sarah and Elizabeth were declared natural children of a Stephen Jackson in 1804 by act of the North Carolina General Assembly. John Kendrick Jackson and Mary Kendrick Jackson were also included in this action.

Laws of North Carolina, Chapter CXXVL, 1804. "An act to alter names of the persons therein mention, and to legitamate them. Be enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same. That the names of William Joyner, Martha Joyner, Sally Joyner, Joseph Joyner, Mary Joyner and Geraldus Joyner, illegitimate children of Joseph Batts and Elizabeth Joyner, of Edgecomb County, be altered and changed to those of William Batts, Martha Batts, Elizabeth Batts, Sally Batts, Joseph Batts, Mary Batts and Geraldus Batts:...And the names of John Kindrick, Polly Kindrick [Mary], Betsey Kindrick [Elizabeth] and Salley Kindrick [Sarah], natural born children of Stephen Jackson, of Anson County, be altered to the names of John Jackson, Polly Jackson, Betsey Jackson and Salley Jackson..."

Re: Robert Gainey

cmsmcjae — 2013-02-08 01:10:50Z

Your father, Robert Gainey, was my grandfather's half brother. My grandfather is Wade Hampton Gainey. His father is Henry Lee Gainey and Wade's mother was Melita Grooms. Henry Lee's last wife was Barzilla, "Zilla", and was married to her when he died. there are 26 siblings, I think, and I don't have all the names, but the ones I do have are: Lillie, Purdy, Lebraun, Arthur, Millie, Wade, Barzilla, Arizona, Ruth, Sussie Rebecca, Lawrence, Joseph, Mable, Woodrow, Bertha, Coyt, William, Robert, Grace, Houston, Edward...
If you, or anyone else would like to talk back and forth about "This Gainey" family, feel free to email me jesusfirst2113@gmail.com I have copies of a few census pages from the library in Florence and I actually have Uncle Arthur's draft registration card for WW I (a copy of it.). He was the only one of the siblings I met and got to know because he came to see my grandfather (Wade Hampton Gainey) often.

Gainey: Haverhill Mass abt 1880

usmarine1814 — 2013-03-11 05:39:49Z

I am looking for information on my G-Grandmother Delia Gainey (gainney, Ganey) and her husband Henry Murphy.

She was supposedly born in Haverhill Mass abt 1880 but no records of her exist before their 1st child that I can find.

Records indicate he was born April 9 1875. However the place of birth alternates between NYC and Ireland. As if he was hiding something.

Their children:
Carleton- b 1904 in Taunton Mass.
Harold- b 1907 in Waltham mass (my grandfather)
Robert- b 1909 Somerville Mass
Irene (Cummings)- b 1910 Somerville Mass

Delia Died in 1936 in Cambridge MA
Henry had a deformed arm. He died in 1940 in Cambridge MA

any help would be appreciated
Thank you and best of luck

Are you from SC? I would love to talk to you. Thank you, Robyn Roberson

DynastyBoyProtege — 2013-03-14 22:00:43Z

Jack Gainey's name was also John but he went by Jack and Adeline was his wife. My lineage goes thru them and their daughter Effie Jane Gainey. Adeline was listed as white or mulatto on census record and she comes from the Grooms line which were of PeeDee Indian descent. I have yet to find info on John "Jack" Gainey's parents but I am digging. If anyone has any info on his parents Duetes and Matilda Gainey I would greatly appreciate it.

Gainey Family connection from Chesterfield, SC

DynastyBoyProtege — 2013-12-11 17:46:32Z

I have traced back to a John "Jack" or "Jackson" Gainey born abt 1841 being married to an Adeline Grooms born abt 1848. Adeline's family are of the Pee Dee Indian's and I am currently trying to track down John's family ties.... If anyone has ties to the Gainey family from Chesterfield I would love to compare info and try to nail this down

Re: Matilda Gainey, SC

Do you have a husband for her? Matilda was my 5th Great Grandmother. I have not heard of that side being native at all just blk and maybe white possibly Spanish/Portugese ..
