Eva, There are a few McMan's by married in my family. All showing about 1900 in NC county census. Could your McMain have been an incorrect transcription of that name. In a message dated 2/16/2008 6:26:51 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, evajruben@yahoo.com writes: An ancestor of my husband was named James McMain West. He was born in Lewes, Delaware in 1795 and died in 1859. In 1818 he married Rebecca Fisher Hazzard. Does anyone know where the middle name "McMain" came from?
