    Notes 
    • Son of Reuben Raines and his wife Nancy Powell. Harvey was known to have married four times. His first marriage was to Ella E. Oldham in Warren county, Illinois on 16 May 1875. They later divorced, with Ella marrying a total of five times, divorcing her first four husbands. Children of the marriage were sons William Taylor Raines and Frank R. Raines. Following their divorce, William was adopted by Frank Messenger and his wife Lucy Ann Harris of Monmouth. Ella raised Frank in Burlington, Iowa.

      Harvey's second wife was Julia Amelia Cummings, born 9 August 1857 in Orion, Henry County, Illinois. Marriage information has not been found, but their first two children were born in North Dakota in 1884 and 1887. Six more children were born to the couple in Monmouth, making for 8 children born in only 11 years of marriage. Julia died 11 August 1895 in Monmouth, two days after the stillbirth of her eighth child. Daughter Goldie was again adopted by Frank Messenger and his wife Lucy Ann Harris.

      A year later, Harvey married Rebecca F. Martin in Monmouth on 30 September 1896. She was a native of Edmonson county, Kentucky. Rebecca was shown with Harvey in the 1900 US census of Eliot Township, Louisa county, Iowa, with her mother and brother living near by. By 1910, Harvey was listed as widowed and living in Henderson county, Illinois. Although Rebecca was listed as "Miss" on her marriage license, it also stated it was her second marriage. She was the daughter of Isaac Martin and his wife Sarah A. Going.

      Finally, Harvey married Mrs. Mary E. Peterson in Warren county on 7 July 1925. Mary was probably a recent widow, shown as a neighbor of Harvey's in the 1920 census. Again, nothing more is known about Mary.

      Interestingly, Harvey was shown living with brothers John C. Ferrington and William C. Ferrington in the 1925 Iowa census of Burlington. John C. Ferrington was the second husband of Harvey's first wife, Ella Oldham. Also, William C. Ferrington, divorced from his first wife Rebecca Jane Miner, married Harvey's much older mother, Nancy Powell Raines.

      Harvey was listed as a resident at the Warren County Almshouse as of the 1930 census. He died there in Lenox township, south of Monmouth in 1934. He was survived by five of his ten known children: William Taylor Raines of Des Moines, and Frank R. Raines of Burlington, Iowa; Wilsey R. Raines of Chicago, Mrs. Goldie Branstrator of Ft. Wayne, Indiana, and Mrs. Nancy Stubbs of Oquawka.
