Hi I am researching the JOHN and SARAH E. MCCLAIN family found in the 1870, 1880 and 1900 census of Scott County. . John McClain evidently died before 1878, as his widow married a Mr. JENKINS and had one child, ELIZA JENKINS in 1878. Either Mr. Jenkins died or he and Sarah E. were divorced as Sarah is found in the 1880 census of Scott County with her children as Sarah McClain. Evidently Mrs McClain moved to Logan County where she married B.F. BAILEY on March 11, 1891. By 1900 Mrs McClain was back in Scott County living next to her son and daughter-in-law, WILLIAM J. and CANZADA (VAIGHN) MCCLAIN in James Township. With her was her daughter, ELIZA JENKINS THRESHER and a granddaughter, ARDISTA THRESHER. None of these families are found in Scott County in 1910 or 1920. Did they go back to Logan County? Did they move away from the state? What happened to these families? Below is an outline of what I know about these families. Does anyone out there know of these families? I would appreciate any information or clues about them. Thanks so much Charlene Holland 1 John MCCLAIN Born: about 1847 in Texas Died: in may have died between 1870 and 1880 .. +SARAH E..
