TX 1895.Author b. 1872 TX, possibly married to Lena Easley in Parker co. TX 1896.Thompson b. 1872 TX, possibly married to Bessie Haugabook in Parker co. TX 1893. He could have also been known as "Thomas Baker McClain".William b. 1874 TX, may have lived in the Sweetwater area in Nolan county TX.Robert b. 1875 TX, he married Hannah Grace Hanson. (I have most of his info)2 of the brothers (Robert and Thomas) left Parker county when their mother died sometime just after 1880 to live with relatives in California maybe around the Marysville area, then came back to TX before 1893.Thompson went back to CA after 1902, he had a son named John Thomas McClain.I would like to find their mothers maiden name, she was b. abt 1843 in SC. Also their fathers given name, all I know ! is surname "McClain" he was b. in TN, don't know what year.Would also like to find any descendants of these brothers or any other history.Do any of these names, dates, or places sound familiar to anyone?Any and all information would be so much appreciated...even if its just a tidbit or a remote possibility.Thank you in advance,ShanaIf you wish, you can e-mail directly or post here.
