The 1820 Martin County Indiana Census lists a Joseph Raney (Riney) over 45 with 8 sons and 5 daughters so obviously I'm missing at least 4 childrens names (9 through 12 born after 1820 and 8 is uncertain though probable). It is said that the Riney family began to spell their name with an a rather than an i after they moved to Indiana (around 1818).
There is another Joseph Riney, who is the nephew of this Joseph and the son of Clement (THIS Joseph's brother) .
I have a copy of a page from Clement's Bible (in the possession of Mrs. Walter Joseph Riney of Louisville Kentucky - 1971) stating that this Joseph Riney was born in the year 1813 the 31st day of May. This Joseph Riney married Anna Elizabeth Isabel Cambron.
