Is your Raney/Rainy family related to my Ramey/Remy/Remey family of Washington co., VA and other counties north and east in VA? My William Remy m. to Eleanor McCarty and most of his children moved from Washington Co., VA to what is now Floyd Co., KY. His youngest son, Owen and family remained in Washington Co.,VA, where they died--except the twin sons, Ephraim and Owen, Jr.,(who was my 2nd g grandfather). When the Remy family became ill, their father's sister, Eleanor Remy Rowland, took them into her home; and when their parents died, she raised them with her family. After her husband died, she moved her children and the twins to what is now Floyd Co., KY to be near her mother and her brothers and sisters. Could thee be a connection?Iris (Ramey) Seyfried
