I am searching for information on John Rakes of Buckingham County VA and his 
wife name unknown.

John would have born about 1775 and lived in Buckingham County in the Walton 
Fork area. His wife has been reported to be Nancy Sanders/Saunders born abt 
1770. There has been many who think this Nancy Sanders was the daughter of John 
Sanders and Sarah Grant but that has been proven false.

There is enough tradition that would make the name Nancy Sanders possible just 
not the daughter of John and Sarah.

There is another John Sanders living in Buckingham County with a wife's name of 
Judith which is a possibility.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks
Roger
