Surnames: McClain, Bailey Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3kz.2ACIB/640.2 Message Board Post: I believe that the Henry McClain born in 1750 was Henry McClain Jr., and his father was Henry McClain born about 1720-25, whose wife was Euphias born about 1730. Richard McClain (or McClean) was most likely grandfather to the Henry born in 1850. There are so many "Henrys" and "Jameses" in this family it gets confusing. I am descended from Henry's brother James W. McClain and wife Sarah Bailey through their son Phillip Bailey McClain. The name "Euphias" has been carried down through the generations. My great-grandmother was Charlotte Euphias McClain, born in 1850.
