Alan,
Thank you for the additional information.I am very interested in your sources that link Amon to Timothy Rain and Britanna to her Uncles as well as the name of Williams second wife. I am forwarding my additional citations via email. There are discrepancies regarding the bith date of Britanna.According to the 1860 record states Britanna was 54 making her b.d. c1806.Her tombstone inscription lists her as 63 at her death on Aug. 17,1870. This would make her b.d. c1807. In addition, the Upper Penns Neck Return of Deaths lists her as 80 (the least likely age) at the time of her death.
I am descended from two different children of William (c1803-1885) and Britanna Biddle Reighn (Raine)(c.1806/8- 1870): Their son Josiah Raine, 1830-1908 (m. Mary Elizabeth Mason, 1835-1911)and their daughter Mary A. Rain, 1843-1921 (m. Joseph Sayers, 1836-1912).
