     Daniel George GAINES . We are uncertain of this George's relationship to Daniel, but several researchers have come to this conclusion. The name Gaines is said to have had its origin in Wales. the story begins with David-ap-Lllewellyn, a courageous soldier, who was mortally wounded on the battlefield in 1415 while saving the life of King Henry V. Just before David's deat, he was knighted by the King.
David had a squint eye and it was with the term indicating the squint eye that he was knighted. David-ap-Lllewellyn became Sir David Gam.
Descendants of David Gam made changes and the name became Games and still later Ganes, Gaynes, and Gaines. He married Catherine "Katy" Lee. He was born in 1750 at VA, USA. He died in 1848 at KY.

     E-mail info I received from a Gaines researcher in Bardstown, KY 8 Jan 2004.

"Welcome to the Gaines/Lee hunt. I have the following ; Daniel Harry Gaines 1805-Aug 1853 married May 27 1831

(He is uncertain about parents of Daniel and has two choices:)

"The following penciled in:
Father ;Harry Gaines c 1790 -c1861 Culpepper/Orange Co Va Mrd to Alsey or ;

George Gaines Res Northern Ky in 1790 Census Married to Kathy or Caty?"


The parentage of Daniel has never been proven for sure. Several different reports are out there. George Gaines is the conclusion I reached after looking at several internet findings. Daniel Harry GAINES was born circa 1808 at Owen, KY; Info from G-G-Grandaughter who says death was August 1853 and he was age 45 at the time.
Another source lists birth at Orange Co., VA (Rebecca Anne Ray e-mail in 2002.) He married Jane (Jennie) LEE, daughter of Joseph Robert LEE and Mary Wiley, on 27 May 1831 at Levy, Switzerland, INDIANA; It's said that Jennie Lee went back to Indiana and got married in the home of her aunt, Joseph Robert Lee's sister. -this info from Donna Nehring, through Eddy Duvall
