I am trying the "shotgun" approach trying to ferret out Robert McClain who lived in Pennsylvania, perhaps Fayette County, at the time of the birth of his daughter Mary in 1782. Robert signed for Mary's marriage to David Shoemaker (Shumacher) in the area of Brock's Gap in Rockingham Co., VA, in 1803 and then at some point after that the young marrieds removed to Ross County, OH. I cannot find Robert after that. Kathy

There was a Robert McClain that died in the poor house in Rockridge,WV.

I have always wondered how a Scots-Irish family ended up amongst the Germans in Pennsylvania. Someone just emailed me about a Robt. McClain from Scotland (b. 1746) who married Patience Pileshe. Someone else volunteered the marriage of Robt. McClain who married Patience Piles. Will check this out further.

Robert McClain was born Scotland in 1746 married Patience Pileshe son Jhn McClan married Sarah Maple. Sarah McClain had a son John Jacob McClai married Martha Robbins . Martha McClain had a son John Robert McClain married Adaline C.Talbott of Carroll County Lee Township Harlem Springs , Ohio. Adaline McClain had a son Ross Talbott McClain married Elva Jane Best of Harrison County German Township Germano,Oho. ROSS Talbott McClain is my Grand Father.

Robert McClain first showed in Loudoun County VA he married Patience Piles and moved to Point Marion PA in Fafyett County and the family then moved to Jefferson County ,Ohio near Toronto,Ohio. He is my ancestor. Now there was a son Robert McClain Jr. .

The earliest one I have is Martin Shoemaker who is first recorded on the military lists of Orange Co., VA. His part of Orange Co became Augusta Co, and then Rockingham. Family notes do not cite a specific religion, but they do say that Martin probably belonged to one of the "strict German churches." One of his descendants was known to be of the Dunkard sect. The Shoemakers stayed around the Shenandoah and some moved on to what is now West Virginia. My husband's David came to Ross Co, Ohio, after his marriage. Do you have any idea where in PA your McClains were from? I have a possibility with Robert of Fayette Co. There is a Robt. McClain in that county, unknown twp, in the 1790 census. He has 2 males 16 and older, 3 males under 15 and 6 females in his household. Robert would be one of the males over 16 and his wife one of the females. Your Samuel could be one of the under 16 males and our Mary another of the females. In the 1800 census, a Robert McClain appears in Fayette Co, German township, with 2 males age 0-10; 2 males age 10-16; 1 male 16-26;1 male 45 or older; 1 female age 0-10; 1 female age 16-26; 1 female 45 or older; and 2 extra people. Could be the same family. I find NO other record of Robt. McClain except for the fact that he signed for Mary's marriage to David Shoemaker in Rockingham Co. in 1803. After that, he is history! I know David and Mary removed eventually to Ross Co, OH, but cannot find Robt. there. If your Samuel married late, he may possibly be the Ross Co. Samuel McClain who married Eliza C. Robinson on 21 Jan 1838. Kathy

Mary was, and then there is no record of this family until they show up in Rockingham County in 1803 when Mary married David Shoemaker (Schumacher) of Brock's Gap. The new couple removed to Ross County, OH. Kathy

Robert moved to Rockingham County, Virginia, to the vicinity of Brock's Gap in the Shenandoah Valley. Robert signed for her marriage there in 1803 to a David Shumacher (Shoemaker.) I cannot locate Robert either before or after that time. I suspect he was part of the Scots-Irish group that came to PA and then migrated south to the Rockingham area. Just wondered if you had run across that name. Thanks.
