Here is the next transmittal for the Ebenezer Baptist Church minutes.
There are many familiar surnames here, but some of the given names (or
initials) cause me to wonder. R.M. Rainey for one. I know just enough
about the Raineys to be dangerous, but I wonder if this could possbly be
Reuben Morgan Rainey, who bought the land that eventually became Ellaville
from the indians. Maybe this is to late and it was a namesake. Some one
please help me out on this one. Who is Sid Raney?

We have another Cottle, T.J. Dozier(again, know the surname but not T.J.),
Walters, Hart, Chatman (could be Chapman). A.M. Caskey is known to me, but
Minnie?, Reid and Womack. There were at least two Womack families in the
area at this time and they appear to be unrelated.

Any one who can shed some light on these names, please share what you know
with the lists.
