1 May 11, 2011 Our Rayfield Heritage Complied by Ann Griffin Deese Margaret Rayfield Peter Rayfield Theophilas (Thomas) Rayfield Martha Elizabeth Rayfield James Albert Lowery, I This file is a work in progress. Please send me any information, corrections, or pictures that you are willing to share My address is anngdeese@carolina.rr.com, phone Please note the numbers beside each name. If there is a plus mark (+) before the number then that person is listed again in the next generation with their children. They will have the same number so you can find them easily. If they do not have a plus mark then they either don't have children to list or I don't have them. I have no proof that Margaret Rayfield is our Peter Rayfield's mother but most researchers believe this to be true. We don't know who she may have married. Some of my sources for this file are: 1. Angie Rayfield and Frank Rayfield have done extensive research on the Rayfield's and Griggs. 2. Wills, Censuses, Obituaries, Heritage Rooms in Union County and Anson County. 3.

Notes for Janie Desdnie Lowery: Burial: MT. Moriah Baptist Church Cemetery, at the SC & NC line Desdnie Timmons died during childbirth from toxemia Obituary: "Mrs. Desdnie Lowry Timmons wife of George Timmons, of Lanes Creek Township, died at her home Saturday, November 9, after a brief illness and was buried in the family plot at MT. Moriah Church near her home, on the following day. While her health had not been good for some time her condition was not regarded as serious until very recently so that her untimely death came as a surprise and shock to her neighbors and friends. Mrs. Timmons who before her marriage was Miss Desdnie Lowry of the Altan section, taught in the county schools for a number of years as a teacher, she was capable and self-reliant and was often re-elected. As a daughter her devotion to her aged and invalid mother was touching and beautiful. In some respects was quite unusual, in that she denied herself for a number of years, the privilege of having a home of her own that she might be free to minister to her mother. Early in her girlhood she joined the Altan Presbyterian Church; later moving her membership to the Salem Presbyterian Church near her home in which her husband is an officer. Having taught in this community for a number of years before her marriage she was well known and loved by the people before she came as a bride to live among them. In her four-fold capacity of teacher, wife, Christian neighbor, and friend she has made a lasting impression upon her community. While loyal to her own church she was not narrow, loving the image of Christ wherever she saw it. When the end was clearly in sight she said, "I am ready." The reward of a well-spent life. Only 36 and yet ready. Right in the midst of a very busy life and yet ready. She is survived by her husband, George Timmons; her sister Miss Annie Lee Lowry, who lived with her; two brothers, James Lowry and Ebb Lowry, of Buford Township, and a number of nephews and nieces. The funeral was conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. A. McIntyre of Pageland, SC, assisted by Rev. Mr. Little of MT. Moriah Baptist church and R. J. McIlwaine of Monroe. Knowing her fondness for her own flowers at home and their excellence and beauty, her neighbors and friends seemed to yie with each other in making the floral offering most complete and beautiful."
