It is said that the Rainwaters and Rains were originally of the same family and part Indian. My grandfather, John Duncan Rains of Shelby County, had a sister named America.

Notes:

Drewry Jr. ALDRIDGE was married to Edith HARDY about 1786 in Dobbs County, North Carolina. Edith HARDY was born in 1768 in Dobbs County, North Carolina. She died before 1810 in Greene County, North Carolina. Drewry, Jr. ALDRIDGE and Edith HARDY had the following children:
i. Drewry, III. ALDRIDGE was born about 1787 in Dobbs County, North Carolina. He died in Texas. Moved to Texas via Ga with brothers Lemuel and Jesse
Seems that Drewry III sold his property on Bear Creek, Greene County, NC and moved to Baldwin County, GA. Where his cousin Thomas B Aldridge, Jr. lived. This was around 1818. He found a wife there, then moved to Jackson County, Alabama. His children were born in Alabama but then he moved to Nacogdoches, Texas.
It is said that Drewry Jr rode his horse twice to Texas to see his children and grandchildren.
ii. Lemuel Hardy ALDRIDGE was born about 1789 in Dobbs County, North Carolina. He died in Texas.

ALRIDGE, Drewry marr. BRANDLE, Sarah 14-DEC-1819, Surry, NC
Aldridge, Drury - Unknown Townships, Jackson, AL 1830 (male HOH 30-40; this is probably Drewry Aldridge of Dobbs/Greene Co, NC m. Sarah Brandle; son of Drewry and Edith Hardy; migrating to Texas].
Aldridge, Drury Unknown Townships, Marshall, AL 1840

It's possible that there are more children in this family. These are what remained for the 1850 Census in Texas.

There is more than one Drury Aldridge and I am not so sure that our Anna is Sarah Brandle or that our Drury married Sarah Brandle.
