James Gaines came to Old Rappahannock Co., Virginia. ca 1653. He has generally been accepted by tradition, as the son of Thomas Games(Gaines), the immigrant, along with his brothers Robert, of Old Rappahannock Co., Virginia, Francis of Lancaster Co., Virginia and sister Catherine. Data connects James with Daniel Gaines, John Catlett (Sr), Ralph Rowzee, Thomas Hawkins and Richard Lawson. A Gaines descendant states in his family records that James Gaines married a daughter of Richard Lawson, possibly named Elizabeth after her mother. Up to this time, however, no will or other document has been uncovered where his wife or wives and children are named.
