I really want to more about your Luther Rand. I think he may have been a brother to one of my greatgrandfathers. My own greatgrandfather was Joseph Luther Rand born in Virginia March 16, 1877. I think this was West Virginia since his father was James Henry Rand and was borin Oct 3,1851 in Jackson County West Virginia. They were both burried in KC and that city is in KS and MO. The cementary they were burried in has been owned by MO and KS.
Our family tree has a Luther born in 1818. James Henry Rand's father was a Robert Rand born 1811 in Vermont. He had two wives 1. Mary Snyder born in Penn
one son William -born 1835
Second wife-Mary A Sincler born in Penn. They had a least seven children. My 2nd greatgrandfather was the James Henry Rand I have spoke about in the above paragraph.
We also have more Luthers before this one.
Hope we have the right Luther.
Best Wishes-
Betty Rand Lathrop
