BREWER, DUNCAN, RAINS -
I am looking for the marriage of Ashael RAINS & Melvina DUNCAN. He was born 1772,
so guessed he would have married in about 1792. He purchased property in Greenville Co. in about
1796 and returned from Warren Co.TN after the War of 1812 and sold this same parcel of property.
Also looking for marriage of Solomon BREWER to Elizabeth, and I believe to be the
sister of Melvina DUNCAN. The time period would be about the same. I will be happy to
share any of my RAINS information.
Thank you. Laura RAINS Jones, born Cannon Co.TN
1927, now live in FL

WOOLS -
I would like some help on where to research my ancestor. On the Census in IN it says that he was
born in VA. His name is Daniel Wools b: 1778 and had a brother Philip who was a few years
older. They lived with their parents, Christopher and Elizabeth Wools and other female
siblings in KY in 1788. Other than checking each and every county for these names, is there
another way that would be quicker?

I am looking for Ellen Kearney who was born, I believe, in 1812 in Virginia. She married a
man by the name of Andrew W Waller, and I guess they moved to Tennessee. She died in 1888
in Tennessee. They had a son named Martin Vanburen Waller b.10 Apr 1840 in Jeraldstown,
Sullivan Co. Tn. (so they had gone to Tennessee by then. Andrew W Waller was born in
Tennessee sometime around 1812 also) Martin Vanburen Waller is my 2nd great grandfather. I
got Andrew and Ellen's names by Martin's death certificate, but I can't find these people
anywhere.

DONELSON, SHAFFER -
Searching for birth, marriage and most important the parents of Ebenezer Donelson. He was
born in 1784 or 1782 in VA. Married Barbara Shaffer in 1817. Don't know parents but have
eliminated Col. John Donelson and any of his children. Could be Andrew, Col. John's
brother who was born in 1722 in VA, son of Capt. John Donelson. Also have information on
Ebenezer's stone in Mercer, Missouri. It lists his parents as H.M. and R. It also references his
siblings as Matilda and Weslie (or Leslie?). Appreciate any help you can give or suggestions you
might have. Thanks,
