Jan 4, 1911, was born in Bedford County, PA, and migrated through Ohio to Story County Iowa, arriving in Nevada, Iowa approximately 1855. She was the daughter of Wilson and Sara (Lochard) McLain and was orphaned as a child, when first her mother, then her father died, the latter while trying to establish a farm in Ohio. Her brothers, Frank A and Russell M McLain arrived in Nevada, Iowa about the same time. In fact, the McLains were the second family in Nevada. Catherine was first married to Tom Larcom, but he went insane and a divorce was granted in 1856. She then married a carpenter named Moses Hunt. Catherine and Moses Hunt are buried in Collins, Iowa, 6 miles from Nevada. All of these McLains are direct descendants of Azariah and Sophia Houck McLain of Maryland and Bedford, County, PA. Catherine's whereabouts and life story were previously unknown by researchers of this line, but this information recently emerged. Contact! me if there is further interest.

I think there must have been one for March 1, 1998 but it's not in my file. I only subscribed for a short time before Don Marsh discontinued the McClain Exchange; right after that he announced his illness. I also downloaded and printed several of the "McClain-A-Day" newsletters in 1997.

His son, Bob (my dad) was director for the Kroger Company. Me, Timothy, am employed at SYSCO Food Services of Atlanta. William DeVoe was indeed a publisher for one of New York's first 'Penny Newspapers' called the "Jeffersonian." My brothers and I have all the actual publications which are bound in four different books. 1834-1836. William also published another paper called, "Transcripts." I have searched for these publications but to no avail. Any Help? William sold his printing presses to Horace Greeley (publisher of the New York Times) in 1836. Greeley then started a weekly newspaper called the "Jeffersonian" in Albany, New York. William then opened a general store in Tappan, New York and became one of the wealthiest people in that town.

I have made a small discovery and I need some help piecing the pieces together........here is the story! I have been trying to prove that Lydia ?? McCLAIN b abt 1805-1810, wife of John McCLAIN b abt 1805-1806 of Weakley Co, Tn is in fact the daughter of Newborn WILLIAMS b abt 1782 Halifax Co, NC later moving to Anson Co, NC, son of Joseph & Mary PARROTT WILLIAMS. This is the email I sent out the other day.........at least parts of it.........I will add more at the bottom I think John McCLAIN, son of Charles and Elizabeth McCLAIN (lived in Gallatin Co, Il 1817 & 1818 at least) was married to Lydia WILLIAMS, daughter of Newbern and Mary WILLIAMS.....now for reason that I believe this fact. John McCLAIN b abt 1805/06 and Lydia ????

DUNLAP, Jr. Stayed in Weakley Co, Tn 3...Joseph b abt 1827 m Mary ?? went to Johnson Co, Ar. (Named a son Newborn..and that name runs through the family) 4...Newbern b abt 1829 went to Ark around Cord, Ar. I have visited his grave (This is son Newborn that also named a son Newborn) 5...Mary b 1833 I think she married William Lowery in Illinois but in old came back to live with her sister Elizabeth where she died and is buried at Patterson Cemetery in the South of Weakley 6...Charles b 1834 went to Pike Co, Il joined the Union Army and died 1864 due to Civil War 7...John b 1836..I think he had taken out a marriage licenses to Louisa Webb......he either died or left the country as they never married. 8...Fanny b 1840 went with Lydia to Johnson Co, Il 9...Caroline b 1843 went with Lydia to Johnson Co, Il where she married G.
