Yes, lots of unanswered questions about Jeremiah Riney Raney.
They are listed twice in the Washington Co, KY courthouse marriage index, 1797 and 1800.
We wondered if the 1799 was the correct date, and the minister or priest recorded it in
1800, and that 1797 was unreadable or incorrectly written, but that is all supposition.
If it is the same Jeremiah Riney in 1810 tax list in KY
and the same Jeremiah Raney in Martin Co, IN census in 1820 and 1830, they both would have
been born between 1765 and 1770.
Their son James Virgil Raney and Mary Helen (Holland) are my gg grandparents and also have
tombstones in St. Rose Cemetery, so I assumed Jeremiah was buried there also. I knew that
the DAR questioned his Revolutionery War service and that line was closed.
In Washington DC, I saw a Rev War record for a Jeremiah RAINEY, but don't know if this
was our Jeremiah.
So many records are missing, we may never know.
Please let me know what you think about all of this.
