RAINS, Phillip Merida b. 1850. Married Martha Jane CAMPBELL, b.1849, in Hamilton County in 1870. Listed in Hamilton County Marriage Records as RAINS, Merida P. They are my ggrandfather and grandmother. Hamilton County Mortality Index reflects a Philip M. RAINS, age 20, dying of "the fever" in 1850. They are obviously not the same individual, but I bet they are related. I also believe they are related to Mereday RAINS, one of the signers of the Cumberlan Compact in Davidson County in 1780. Does anyone have any information on these folks? David C. Rains

RAINS/RAINES- I am researching my grandfather, Phillip Merida RAINS, b. 1850-d.1932. He and my grandmother, Martha Jane CAMPBELL are on the Hamilton County Marriage Records as being married in the county on 05/01/1870. The records reflect him incorrectly as Merida P. RAINS.

Can anybody help me with this? Can't find anything else on a Phillip RAINS in Hamilton County though I did come up with a Philip RAINES in McMinn County on the 1829 Tax List and the 1830 Census. Also, found a Phillip RAINS on the 1812 Tax list in Warren County. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for descendants or information of Joseph VANCE TRAVIS, who married Josephine KNOX in Hamilton Co TN 18 Mar 1860.

They have children named: Samuel 1830, Nathaniel 1836, Rachael 1837, "VANCE" 1838, Elizabeth 1840, Elvira 1842, Caroline 1845, John H. 1847. In 1860 census, Hamilton Co TN, Chattanooga PO, Dist 14 is Joseph TRAVIS 23 TN, Carpenter by trade, Josephine 20 GA, and close by is perhaps her family, John KNOX b 1770 and Mary KNOX b 1800 GA. Marriage records show J.V. TRAVIS~Josephine KNOX and have reason to believe he is the Joseph VANCE TRAVIS, son of Joseph of Rhea Co TN. Would appreciate any clue to finding more on his family.
