THE STORY AS I KNOW IT

Blanche Kemis was born about 1590 probably in Wales. According to
http://www.angelfire.com/nt/oddentree/gaines.html that has the Descendants of Llywelyn Ap Hywel Fychan her father was Harry Kemis. Nothing further is known about Harry Kemis. The site takes the Games family back another 10 generations.

Blanche Kemis married Thomas Gaines about 1608 in Wales. He immigrated to Virginia about 1641 with many if not all his children. Blanche is not mentioned in Virginia and it is assumed she died in Wales

The children of Thomas and Blanche were:
1. Edward Gaines born 1610
2. Daniel Gaines born 1614 wed Margaret Bernard Rowzee, died 1684 in VA
3. Robert Gaines born 1616
4. Thomas Gaines born 1618
5. James Gaines born 1620, his son died in Virginia
6. Samuel Gaines born 1621
7. Francis Gaines born 1622
8. Margaret Gaines born 1624
9. Richard Gaines born 1826
10. Catherine Gaines, born after 1626

The challenge is to connect Symon Miller, born 1642 and his wife Margaret Gaines Prosser to this family. There are many sons who could be her father.

 It is not known when Thomas died, but it would have been in Virginia after 1650.
