Philip and Sarah (Eccleston) Mains had 9 children we have records of some kind on all but Belle. There are around five of us working on the Mains-Eccleston project part of us are Mains' and part of us are Eccleston's . Philip and Sarah (Eccleston) Mains' had 9 children. We have the information that Charity married Hiram Ettleman however I don't believe we knew about William Pierson. We have not been able to find out where Sarah (Eccleston) Mains died and was buried, we have just discovered where Philip is buried this last week, Mark and Bev are sending me more information. Charity's brother Jacob who was my husbands great grandfather died in Yakima, Washington in 1916 he was a widow, we can not find out any information on his wife Alice (Secrease) Mains she disappears in around 1884 or 1885 they were living in Bartlett, Iowa or that area. I am sending you my email address, I tried yours but it came back as undeliverable. MainzHaus@msn.com Look forward to hearing from you. Will let the others know we have made contact. Karen Mains
