Found a Gouveneur Rainey in 1850 census working for the John Shafer family as a laborer. Also listed in same county are John, Jane, Mary J., Robert, Ellen, and Jasper at same time that may have been the parents and siblings of Gouveneur.
Suspect the surname was misspelled or changed to Rainey.
Any leads or help will be appreciated.
