Hello All... I'm looking for info on the following Bain line. Note that the spelling has changed in the past 200 years.Here is my line: me- Kenneth Noel BAIN, Jr. son of- Kenneth Noel BAIN and Beverly FUTRELL son of- J.H. (Jake) BAIN and Flossie WHETSTONE son of John Henry BAIN and Mamie WYNN son of Benjamin Noel BAIN and Margaret PRICE son of James Calvin BANE and Sarah Ann TUCKER *not documented: son of- Abraham BAYNE and Sarah ?WEST? James Calvin BANE was born in either Alabama, or (probably) Georgia. I believe that he was born in either Putnam or (probably) next door in Jones County, GA. He moved to Tallapoosa County, AL at an early age. I have found who I believe to be the family on the Tallapoosa County Census in 1830 and 1840 in the household of Abraham BANE... the same person (I believe) as Abraham BAYNE in Jones Co, GA in 1820. In addition to Census records, I have found many references to the BANES in Tallapoosa County. Here are some of them: 1. Marriage license of James BANE to Sarah Ann TUCKER dated 5 Aug 1848. *Note: Sarah TUCKER is buried in Ida, LA in the family's present day cemetary. 2. Marriage license of Benjamine BANE to Lorena HARRIS dated 20 Sept 1853. *Note: I believe this to be James's brother because census records document they were 5 years apart in age and lived next door to one another in Alabama and Arkansas until James' death after the Civil War. 3. Marriage record of Amanda BAINS to James A McCULLERS dated 5 Oct 1830 by Enoch Hays, MG. Consent by her father, Abraham BANE. 4. Marriage record of Bathina Ann BAIN to Henry PEEPLES dated 25 Sept 1843 (solemized 28th) by W.Williams, JP; Isaac F Stow, bondsman. Also a land record: ALBERT S. ELMORE, Sergeant in Capt. Elmore's Co. Col Payton's regiment, LA Volunteers. Warrant #1515. Benjamin BAIN, assignee, Fraction C of Section 19 Township 22 in District of Lands subject to sale at Montgomery, ALA, containing 59 acres. April 1, 1858. Also... James Calvin BANE may have been originally named James Mansfield BANE, but supposedly didn't like the middle name of Mansfield and changed it to Calvin. The marriage license and some census records indicate a middle name beginning with "M". We know this is him by the names and ages of children in the household on census records. Thanks in advance...
