Daniel Kelly Thomas Raine of Teesdale (9) RE: Thomas Raine of Teesdale 27 Apr 19

Hi Henry,

Many thanks for this detailed information. My searches of the digitized Teesdale Mercury online came up blank for Thomas Paine/Pain, but there are lots of entries for a farmer called Thomas Raine. Unfortunately the paper only started in 1855, so if the poem/song was published before that it would likely be lost. My Richard Watson theory looks unlikely.

Maybe they gave out 'bard of Teesdale' titles fairly indiscriminately.

Daniel,
