Alan,

Saw your post about Joseph Patterson and Rosanna Tewell of Washington Co., KY.

This is my family line --

Joseph Patterson & Rosanna's son - Martin
Martin married 3x including Louisa Fields - son, Joseph
Martin Patterson
Joseph Martin married Martha Graves - daughter, Alice
Alice married Howard Strange - daughter, Helen
Helen is my grandmother.

What do you mean about "Maryland League"? Do you have any info on this line? Will be glad to share what I have thus far.

Thanks, Myra Smith

I have info on Joseph Patterson and Rosanna Tewell. Email me @ shirkenjoja@aol.com for info.

Myra,
Were William TEWELL and Elizabeth (Betsy RANEY) the parents of Rosanna TEWELL? Who were parents of Elizabeth?
Who were Joseph PATTERSON parents?
Did they migrate from Maryland in the mid 1790's?
My ggg grand Jeremiah RINEY/RANEY had a daughter, Sarah Ann Matilda (RANEY) who m. Charles TEWELL.
There was also a John TEWELL tha married an O'BRIEN. Do you have info on the O'BRIEN

In the August 23, 1928, issue of the Martin County [IN] Tribune, an article reported "Mary Elizabeth Patterson, her cousin Helen Strange and friend Louise Lyon were bathing in White River when they stepped into deep water. Miss Lyon swam to shore, while Miss Strange attempted to hold the Patterson girl to the surface of the water. The girls hallowed, and William Kennedy and Aden Raney swam to the girls' rescue. Miss Patterson was exhausted when she was taken frm the water, as she had gone under several times." Mary Patterson's third great grandmother's name was Elizabeth Raney, wife of William Tewell. Could it be possible that young Aden was a distant cousin of Mary Patterson's? Do you have an Aden Raney in your family tree?

My grandpa, Homer Thomas Raney Sr. had a brother, Frank Raney and Nellie (Gootee). They had a son Aidan Aloysius Raney M.D. b.2-27-1911 Tanglewilde Ranch, Daviess Co, IN. attended Creighton U, Omaha. He was a famous Neurosurgeon in CA. m. Mary Elizabeth O’Connor b.1917. Aidan had 8 siblings.

Grandpa, Homer Thomas Raney and Frank Raney had 9 other siblings, most lived in Martin Co, IN. Both sets of my grandparents, Raney and Sause were born and married in Martin and Daviess Co, IN. Most of their children were born in Kansas City.

I don't know if I can tie in my mother's g-g-grandmother Elizabeth Raney to the family you have listed. We did not find Elizabeth until much later in our research. Elizabeth's (b. 1760-1769 in Maryland) daughter Rose Ann Tewell was born in Kentucky in 1799. But...you mention Aiden Raney, born in 1911. On August 23, 1928, the Martin County Tribune reported that "Aden Raney" and William Kennedy pulled my mother, Mary Elizabeth Patterson, from White River after she had gone under several times. After discovering Elizabeth Raney as an ancestor, I have often wondered if Aiden was a relative.

Mike, I don't know if this is my family. The only Raney I have is Elizabeth who married William Tewell

yes Homer Thomas Raney and Mary Dot (McCord) were my maternal grandparents, born in Martin (and Daviess Countyy, IN, married in Daviess, and most of their 10 children were born in the Kansas City area. I grew up knowing grandma Raney.

Homer Thomas Raney had 10 siblings, all born in Martin Co, IN area, and many of them stayed in MCI. Lot of tragedies in those families.
Homer Thomas Raney parents were John Raney and Martha (Johnson) buried in St. Martin's Cemetery, Whitfield.
John Raney parents were James Virgil Raney and Mary Helen Holland.
James parents were Jeremiah Riney Raney and Mary Joan (Sheehan Moore) (widow of Alexander Moore) Jeremiah was born in Maryland, married in Washington Co, KY about 1799, most children born in WCK, and they went to MCI about 1818.
Let me know if you are related. I'm looking for other cousins who are descendents of Jeremiah Riney Raney.

Marilyn (Sause Conlon) Gappa
born in Seattle, raised in Kansas City, live in Iowa.
Have visited MCI, WCK, and will go to the MD to KY reunion in MD next summer. My paternal ancestors were all in Daviess County, IN, Sause, Bradley, O'Connor, Downey, Dumphy, etc
