Researcher's Notes

Henry Rains left North Carolina about 1780, for what became Tennessee, with his mother, Mary Ingram, and his stepfather Captain Thomas Lee. Henry Rains settled on what was then Indian land in the Yellow Creek Valley before 1790. Henry Rains' children married into the Turner, Marsee, Denny, Davis, King, Kellems and Lane families. Henry Rains' descendants are still in the Yellow Creek Valley, in what is now Middlesboro, Kentucky. This history is about them, as well as Henry Rains. (Note from author, David Rains)
