Jeremiah Raney served in the Revolutionary War during 1777 as a volunteer from Maryland. He is found in the archives of Maryland muster rolls 1775-83 Volume 18 War of American Revolution 1775-83 Miscellaneous Maryland Line Papers page 330. Jeremiah Raney is listed as missing Oct. 6 1777 while serving a three year enlistment.

This site has been modified as of October 2007 to require payment to view certain genealogy data. The minimum annual donation to access this information is $10.00.

Anderson family researchers and those who donate family material are exempt and only have to request access via email.

Some would ask: "Why this change to charge visitors to view the data and source documents?"

The majority of research and technical expenses have been supported by only a few individuals. Yet many individuals have emailed to indicate they have found relatives on this site and many, many more have emailed and phoned me about the data found being pertinent to their family. Some asking for assistance in researching a specific family line, Anderson's or related. Normally the request was granted.

Now the expense of the web server, development and research needs to be supported by the family it is helping.

I understand that many will be reluctant to donate $10 when they do not know if they will find pertinent family information herein. $10 is not much, less than the cost of a family dinner for two. Less than 1 days cost of the web server.

Do your part to keep this web site progressing.

The Cunningham Family of Daviess County Indiana and Gough, Shircliff, Raney and Hopkins Alliances by J.B. Cunningham, Professor Emeritus, University of Illinois offers documented information about the early Rany ancestors. Published in in 1965, J.B. Cunningham spoke to many older Raney family members who were alive in the 1800's. Text version coming soon.

NAMING PATTERNS

Our ancestors often used the following pattern in naming their children.
Males

  1. The first son was named after his fathers father (paternal grandfather)
  2. The second son after his maternal grandfather
  3. The third son after his father,
  4. and the fourth after his fathers oldest brother

Females

  1. The first daughter was named after her mothers mother (maternal grandmother)
  2. The second daughter after her paternal grandmother
  3. The third daughter after her mother,
  4. and the fourth after her mothers oldest sister.


Although this was common practice, not every family named their children in this way. Sometimes children were given Biblical names. Also, keep in mind that a given name that sounds like a surname can indicate a mothers or grandmothers maiden name.
