Well, when you are ready to start swabbing, let me know!
Our line is from the elusive William Rainwater, dob 1806 TN.
William 1806 TN (per Census)
RE (assumed Ransom Edward) 1830 AL
Thomas L 1854 AL
William H 1882
Jesse 1902
Jesse 1935
Jess (my husband)
I would love to find where our line originated from! I have researched this for years!
