Amherst Co Marriage Records
Gatewood, Henry, bachelor, and Olivia Rains, spinster, April 3, 1786, Walter Christian, surety.
Consent of his father Richard Gatewood for his son, Richard to marry "Olivia Rains, daughter of Nancy Rains."
[my daughter's ancestors, among their sons are Richardson Hynt Gatewood and Ignatius Rains Gatewood.]
My (Betsy's) conclusions:
Olivia is probably the daughter of Ignatius Rains of Amherst Co Va, and
later Wilkes Co Ga. When a mother gives consent for a marriage, the father
generally is deceased. But There does not seem to be any other Rains
family in Amherst Co, and Ignatius did have a wife Nanny/Ann. Perhaps he
was away when the marriage had to occur. And Olivia did name a son Ignatius
Rains Gatewood.
Ignatius Rains was in Amherst Co from 1786 to 1791, when he moved to Wilkes
Co Ga, and he died there ca 1801 when Nancy Rains made the tax return.
Then sons Henry and Ignatius appear with her. They are later living in
Oglethorpe Co in 1816 when they sell their father's land. I think that
probably this occurred when their mother died.
In 1805, Nancy Rains was a widow with 2 minor children (This is possible,
since Olivia was b ca 1766-70. If Olivia was the eldest, Nancy could be
having children until ca 1786-95.)
