McLain and his first wife, Martha J. Ragsdale who married October 8, 1846. On their marriage license I found the name spelled McLane. I am trying to find who the father of Rufus W was. A cousin says it may be a Jesse McLain. Any ideas? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
