And the Raines Came Down
Dolores Raines/Sutton8800 Towering Oaks
Noble, Okla 73068
In 1969 I decided to gather family info and write our Family History 32 years later I am still gathering information and have decided there is no "stopping" place so will publish the information I have as of now.
My Raines research has been obtained from South Carolina-Alabama-Arkansas-Missouri and Okla.from court records, Bible Records, Cems, and family members.
Our First PROVEN ancestor was James Raines born 1793 in South Carolina.
He had at least 1 brother Robert Born 1786 in South Carolina. Parents name unknown at this time but on the 1840 census of Walker Co. Ala. they were living in the household of their son Robert. Until 1850 the census only shows heads of household and just gender and age of Family Members.and on the 1840 it shows Robert Raines ,head of household 1 female between 60 and 70 Yrs old and 1 male between 70-80 Yrs old. They were no longer living on the 1850 census so they died in Walker Co. between 1840 -1850. Robert never married and on the 1850 census of Walker Co. he was living with brother James. He died between 1850-60 there. The first legal document I found was the marriage record of James Raines and Milla Barton Oct 6 1818 in Lawrence Co. Ala.. They came to Walker Co. Ala. in 1822 and lived out their lives there. James and Robert entered Gov. land there in 1833 and 1834. Milla Barton was born Feb 1803 to Moses and Fannie Barton. Moses and his family came to Walker Co. in 1822 also.
James and Milla had 9 Children.:
William Bailey born 1819 [ my Great Grandfather] Married Elizabeth K. Kennymore
Francis born about 1821 Married Edom Byrd Cole
Hiram born 1822married #1 Phoebe? #2 Aseneth Adeline Abbott
Allen born 1824 Married Lucinda Robbins
Milla born 1831[ nothing known on her after 1850 census.
Rebecca born 1833 married Isiah Williams
Massa J born 1835 Married James B. Mullins
James born 1838 nothing found on him after civil war record]
Margaret Ann {Peggy] born 1841 Married Wm Washington Abbott
Milla Barton Raines died 1843 and is buried in the Sardis Cem in Walker Co.
Her home made stone is still readable after all these years.
This cem. in very near James's old Home stead.
James remarried in 1850 to a widow named Susan[maiden name unknown] She had a 5 yr old son named John when they married . On the 1860 census his surname is listed as Raines but this was a common mistake the census takers often made. He was not with them on the 1860 census and no John Raines was listed in Ala. in 1860 so by then he was probably using his correct surname.
James and Susan had 3 daughters.
Lucinda born 1857 Married William Ford
Sylvania Born 1853 Married John Newton Pate
Sinthia born 1852 Married Robert Williams .
James died 1871 and is buried in the Sardis Cem in an unmarked grave. he owned acres of land at the time of his death but as the court house burned no will for him is available. I have not found Susan after his death . She may have married again as she was only 47 when he died. or living with son,John, under his correct unknown surname.
Info from 1830-40-50-60-70 census of Walker Co. Ala.

Desc of James
The Raines came from England and no one has found any Indian Heritage on any Raines Line. If {not Proven] we are of Indian Heritage it is from Mary Elizabeth Bly.[my Grandmother] William Bailey Raines was the first born of James and Milla Barton Raines. He was born 1819 in Ala.bama He married 1841 to Elizabeth K. Kennymore[ I have found this spelled Kennamore,Kennermer ] but in the Bible of her grandson robert Raines[son of James[Bud] Raines it is spelled Kennymore. She was born 1812 in Tenn. Her parents names have not been proven at this time. She is SUPPOSLEY[not proven] to have been married before to ? Adams. No Children if she was. this Could easily be true as she was 29 when they married.
William and Elizabeth had 7 children;
Mary Elizabeth Married #1 Christopher Loggains Sr. #2 George Haskins
Pamela Priscilla Married John W. Haskins
Milly Samantha Married Steven Loggains
Rispa Francis Married Carroll Loggains
Robert Bailey Married Louisa Jane Haskins
James William[BuD] Married Hannah Loggains
John Allen [my grandfather] Married Mary Elizabeth Bly De Jurnette.
They moved over into Jefferson Co. Ala. From Walker Co. in 1849 But only stayed 1 year then moved back to Walker Co. By 1868 Mary,Robert and Priscilla had married. Priscilla and Robert married into the Haskin Family and Mary married into the Loggains Family. In 1869 the Raines, Loggains and Haskins left Ala. and stopped in Wayne Co.,Tenn The apparent reason that they stopped could be because 3 grandchildren were born there. They arrived in Boone Co. Ark. in Mar 1870. so they were making this trip during the winter months. coming with them were James Wm[Buds] widowed mother-in -law Sarah Mullins Loggains and her children plus the siblings of John and Louisa Haskins [spouses of Robert and Priscilla] . Their Father.Hamilton Haskins was killed in the war and their mother,Charity Gibson Haskins, died in 1868 in Walker Co.. They were in Rolling Prairie Township Boone Co. Ark. during the June 1870 census. There were 22 Raines, Loggains and Haskins that left Walker Co. together to come to Ark. When they arrived there were 24 as 3 babies were born inroute [1 husband "Run off with the Midwife"] This wagon train traveled in the winter in order to have arrived when they did to Boone Co. so this family was a hardy bunch of pioneers Elizabeth died 1873 in Boone Co. Ark . On the 1880 census Wm Bailey was living in Taney Co. MO. with his Dau Mary and her #2 Husband George Haskins. His Son John Allen was also living with them. Wm Bailey died there in 1881. Probably buried in unmarked grave at Mincy Cem as this was the closest cem to where he lived when he died.
Children of William Bailey and Elizabeth Kennymore Raines
[1] Mary Elizabeth Raines
Mary was born 1842 in Walker Co. Ala.She was the oldest child of Wm Bailey and Elizabeth Kennymore Raines. She married #1 Christopher Colombus Loggains Sr.in 1867 Christopher was born 1846in Ala.. He was the son of Major Taylor and Hannah Mullins Loggains.

[1] Sarah Elizabeth Priscilla born 1868 in Walker Co. Ala.. Died of measles in Boone Co..,Ark according to the 1880 Ark mortality Schedule.
[2] Christopher Colombus Jr born April 1869 in Wayne Co. Tenn
Family lore is Christopher Sr ran off with the midwife when Christopher Jr. was born in Tenn. and changed his name and the Loggains never heard from him again. Everything points to this being true as he wasn't on the 1870 census with Mary and the children in 1870. She was living with her parents and was not a widow.I have searched every census in every State in 1870 and have never found him. Mary married again before 1880 to George Haskins. he was the brother of her sister, Priscilla's husband and to her Brother, Roberts wife, Louisa Jane Haskins.
