Raney/Lemar
Martin Greenberry Raney m. Katherine Lemar in Martin Co in 1835.
He was
the son of Joseph Raney and Ruth Silvers. Joseph had brought
his family
to IN from Washington Co. KY, purchasing land in Martin Co in 1817.
Ruth died abt 1820, and Joseph later m. Cecilia Cissell. Have
children
of both his marriages and will share. Martin G. Raney left IN
at some
point after his marriage, eventually turning up on the 1850 Census
for
Washington Co *Texas*, alone. By 1860, Martin Raney is remarried
to
Mrs. Frances Murry, living in Milam Co TX. The oldest child by
his
previous marriage, in the household, is a daughter b abt 1845.
There
are also two sons in his household by a previous marriage. Looking
for
information about Katherine Lemar. Did she die before the family
turns
up in Texas, and, if so, was there another marriage? Were there
children older than the daughter in the 1860 census, and are these
the
children of Katherine Lemar? On at least one census, this daughter
reported Illinois as her birthplace. Does anyone have knowledge
of
Raney's in Illinois? So many questions! Thanks in advance
for any
help. I'll share everything I know about this family.
