I know you have information on more of the children of Edward Stevans Raynor & Eliza Gildersleeve than listed under 7-746. I do have info on their 8 children plus 1 child with Edward's 2nd wife if you're interested. For example:

Children of Edward Raynor & Eliza Gildersleeve

1. Mary Elizabeth b 16 oct 1836, Fireplace, Brooklyn d 12 sep 1898 bur Bellport Cem.

m 9 dec 1855 David Brown Reeve b 14 mar 1833 d 12 sep 1914 bur Bellport Cem.

[S603] Huntington Long Islander., 10 Dec 1909, p. 4.

Mrs. Hannah Raynor is 87.

Wednesday, Mrs. Hannah Raynor, who lives with her daughter Mrs. C. S. Washburn, Green street, celebrated eighty-seven years of life. The old lady is bright and remarkably well preserved. She is a little deaf.

Mrs. Raynor was born at Fire Place, now Brookhaven, Long Island, in 1822, being one of six children born to Leverett Reeve and Catherine Brown. One brother is still living, David Reeves of Freehold, N.J., who is 79 years of age. She married twice, her first husband being Stephen Craft of New York. Of the five children blessing their home two are now living, Mrs. Washburn and Mrs. John Carman of Yaphank. Edward Raynor of Brookhaven was her second husband; and there was one daughter by that union, Mrs. George Nesbitt of Brookhaven. She also has a stepson, John Raynor of Brooklyn, who thinks as much of her as if she were his own mother.
