The Complete Rainwaters in the 1880 census

Unless otherwise noted, these census records were transcribed from the microfilmed originals, T9 series, and from the scans of the microfilmed originals available online. The index sources for this transcription are the printed all-name index volumes and soundex microfilm rolls available at the Dallas Public Library, and the online indexes available from FamilySearch.org and Ancestry.com.

Reading these records
The first line of each record gives the following information: District, county, state, page number, line number, dwelling number, family number. I always use the stamped page numbers found in the upper right hand corner of the original census pages. These are stamped on every other page, so the pages without numbers have the number from the preceeding page plus the letter B. The line that follow contain the following: name, sex and race, age, relationship, Single-Married-Widowed-Divorced, occupation, birthplace, birthplace of both parents, miscellaneous information.

Printable blank forms for the 1880 census are available from Ancestry.com.

Transcription contributed by Glidie Rainwater Mobley. It’s frequently asserted that this individual started life with the surname Praisewater and changed it in adulthood to Rainwater. He is not found in any other census under the name Rainwater, and some of the family members are clearly called Praisewater in later records.

Other Brown and Reneau family members omitted. This is a confusing record. For one thing, it appears to be two separate households rolled into one. The enumerator clearly treats Reuben Reneau as the head of his own HH, and all the relationships stated thereafter are to him, not to Joseph Brown. Thus, William Rainwater is Reuben Reneau’s grandson, not Joseph Brown’s.
