In Richard Gaines' will, he mentioned his sons as Richard, James, Robert, Thomas, Francis, and William; his daughters as Mildred Brown, Patsy Gaines, Elizabeth Brown, Anne Marshall, and Caty Price; his wife as Mildred. Daughter Frances was not mentioned, though her children apparently were. He mentioned grandchildren Richard Baker Gaines; Richard Hollinger Gaines; Richard Hollinger Gaines, son of Robert; Richard White Gaines; Richard Morton Price; Richard Gaines Marshall; Richard Brown, son of Henry; Richard Jennings Gaines. Parents of the grandchildren were probably: Francis and Nancy Baker Gaines; Robert and Elizabeth Rice Gaines; Rev.

I have no idea who wrote this all up, but per both Sons of the American Revolution and Daughters of the American Revolution, this man did not "serve". He did Patriotic Service and provided material aid, per ABERCROMBIE & SLATTEN, VA REV PUB CLAIMS, VOL 1, P 276
The man being described here is a combination of several men with the name Richard Gaines that were born in Virginia. There were at least 5 men who served for Virginia with the name of Richard Gaines.
As the Find a Grave is a copy and paste of what is on Geni, I am still concerned that we have real proof of his children.
The children of Richard Gaines and Mildred Hollinger are: Richard H. Gaines, James Gaines, Robert Gaines, Frances “Frankey” Gaines Towne, Thomas H. Gaines, Mildred Gaines Brown, Elizabeth Gaines Brown, Catherine Gaines Price, Francis Gaines, William C. Gaines, Martha Gaines, and Mary Ann Gaines Marshall.

Also, "Genealogical and Historical Notes on Culpeper County, Virginia," published 1900, states, Jemima Pendleton "m. her first cousin, Richard Gaines, son of Isabella Pendleton and Wm. Henry Gaines," their children listed as "1. William; 2. Lucy, m. ---Botts; 3. Rowland; 4. Germina, m. ---Speak; 5 Benjamin; 6. Nathaniel; 7. James; 8. Judith, m. ---Chancellor; 9. Annie, m. ---Crigler; 10. John Cook; 11. Elizabeth, m. ---Thomas."
Thus most of the children now with this Richard Gaines-360 instead appear to be children of Richard Gaines-907 (1731-1804) and Jemima Pendleton (or his first wife). Unless someone offers a better solution, I will remove all but 3 of the children now linked here to Richard Gaines-360 and place them with Richard Gaines-907. The three to remain here are Robert Gaines, Catherine (Gaines) Price, and probably Elizabeth (Gaines) George.
