Crosby D. Rainwater was born Nov. 26, 1832 in Hancock Co., GA, died June 25, 
1907, Taliaferro Co., GA, and is buried at Powelton Community Cemetery, Hancock 
Co.  He was son of Abner Rainwater and his first wife, Elizabeth Henry.  Crosby 
was married June 28, 1859, Taliaferro Co., to Sarah F. Ogletree.  Although 
absolute proof has not been found, it is thought that Sarah was daughter of 
Richard A. Ogletree and Nancy Taylor.
