I'm looking for 1790 census information on Jeremiah Riney. Is there a male this age
(in a Riney household) in MD in 1790? (He was b. between 1765 and 1770 in MD)
Would also like to hear from those connected to this line. Thank you.

Family legend says, John Riney, James, Jonathon (Rev. Soldier) and Thomas Riney and son
Zachariah settled in St Mary's Co, MD from Ireland. They went to Kentucky 1785-1792
where 60 families settled 5 colonies. Zachariah Riney was Abe Lincoln's first teacher.
(See Warren's History of Lincoln.)
Family legend says: Jeremiah, his brother Felix, (no proof of this as we don't know
who were Jeremiah's parents) and his cousins, Joseph Riney, Robert and Clement Riney
moved to Martin Co, IN in 1818. The Yearbook of the Society of Indiana Pioneers, lists
Jeremiah and Mary Joan Riney. The spelling for Jeremiah and some others, changed to Raney
in the 1820 census in Indiana.
