Subject: Gaines family in KS From: Lisamb101 Date: May 30, 1998 Hello! I am looking for information about my Gaines family. They were originally From SC, though I don't have any specifics on location and am not having much luck looking there. My grandfather WILBUR LEE GAINES was born in 1923 in Wichita, KS. He had two siblings: Earline Gaines and Charles Gaines, Jr. Their father was CHARLES AUSTIN GAINES b. May 15, 1880 in LaCygne, KS. He married in 1905 to Gertrude Elizabeth MARTIN. He died in Winfield, KS in 1963. Charles' father was WILLIAM A. GAINES b. in SC. He shows up in voter records for 1855 and 1856 (in Kansas' 19th district) , but that is all I have been able to find of him. I am hoping that someone else out there is also looking for someone in this family and can perhaps shed some light on where the family came from before their generations in KS. Any ideas of some records in Kansas that might show William Gaines' original home? Thanks for taking the time to read this, and best of luck in all of your searches!
