This John Raynor was the father of Elisha, Mott, Ruth, Nancy and Elizabeth. So, Elisha was an Uncle to Edward Stevans Raynor, who was the son of Mott. Charles died before about 1845 and his wife, Nancy, then married David Mills Clark and had a second Susan, b. 1847/48, and William born 1850).

Charles Raynor/ born 1935/ was not the son of Nancy (Raynor) Clark and Charles Raynor who was the son of Elisha and Mary Topping Raynor.

Taken from page # 76, here is the final write-up of this John Raynor: So, based upon the process of elimination, the John Raynor married to Phebe in 1880 and age 40 could have been the son of John Raynor, born in 1792, who was the son of John Raynor (5), who was also the father of Mott, Benjamin, Ruth, etc. This John Raynor was apparently not the son of Edward Stevens Raynor, who lived in Brooklyn, and was not the son of Mott, named John, who died in 1844 and married Caroline Janet
Bayles and had two children. Benjamin, another son of John (5), was still alive and was not as likely to be his father either. The answer seems pretty simple. This John Raynor, born in 1792 and the brother of Ruth (Raynor) Smith, died sometime after 1840 and his sister, Ruth, took her brother John’s son, named John, “under 5” in 1840, in to take care of him. This John than married a daughter (Phebe) of Gershom Rock Smith, by his second wife Sarah Ann (Green). This Gershom Rock Smith was the brother of Oliver R. Smith, Ruth’s husband.
