Surnames: Brewer Ryker McClain Wert Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3kz.2ACIB/1010 Message Board Post: I'm looking for ancestors of John McClain, who according to the 1850 Jennings, Indiana (Scott Co) census, was born in 1809 in Kentucky. John was a farmer of some worth. Scott Co is just 1/2 an hour over the River from Louisville, KY. In the 1850 census (and the 1860 census), John was married to Harriett (Harutt?), age 38, also born in Kentucky. They had 8 children, all born in Indiana: Samantha, b abt 1836 Joseph, b abt 1838 Marion (son), b abt 1840 Nancy Jane, b abt 1843 Rebecca, b abt 1845 Mary Ann, b abt 1847 Sarah, not in the 1850 census, of course, but born in 1852 In 1893, Rebecca McClain married into a famous Dutch Reform family from New Amsterdam (New York c 1750); the family later became American Baptists. Her WPA Indiana marriage Index listing shows a typo: "Rebecca McElain", in case any one reading this has gotten tripped up on that one. Thanks for any help. Werty
