Thomas Edward RINEY, I

Father, John B Riney Mother, Ann Harris Parents are not proven and documented

There is no evidence that Thomas is buried in St Rose. I have placed him here for now rather than placing him in an unknown cemetery or ignoring his existence completely. He died in the vicinity of this cemetery in 1795 and there were few other options.
