I am curious to see if anyone has found the name "Raine" on
patriot or loyalist lists. I am seeking information on James Raine
who lived in the Lacolle area during the rebellion. He was married
at and attended the Odelltown Methodist Church (the place of one
of the last big battles of the rebellion). Previous to the
rebellion he had worked as a stationer in Montreal. After the
rebellion he became a "yeoman" which I presume means a farmer who
owns his own land. Has anyone ever come across the name of RAINE
in their research? I also seek to find his brothers WILLIAM WALKER
RAINE aka. WW RAINE, RICHARD RAINE, AND JOHN RAINE (A Wesleyan
Methodist Missionary at the time of the rebellion in Lower Canada--
Russelltown Circuit, Odelltown Methodist Church, and later
Melbourne Church in Lower Canada).
