> 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
