Hi all, I am looking for James McClain born about 1840..now where could be a problem.. he might have said Pennsylvania, or Virginia.. or even West Virginia. He had two brothers Perry and John who also fought in the Civil War. The three boys were the sons of John and Mary McClain. John the father was born in Ireland and is buried in Fayette County Pa. Very near the West Virginia border. Mary the mother was born according to the census in Pennsylvania and also died in Pennsylvania. I assume her headstone is the next to John, but is so worn it can't be read. Both of his brothers John and Perry lived in Fayette County PA until there deaths. I know James was still living when Perry died in May 1904. As he is named in Perry's obit I am hoping someone will have a clue for me to follow Rose Yaniga
