Interested in your posting, re McLain in Logan County, ARK. I am trying to discover, along with 2 other McClain / McLain researchers, if my g-g-g grandfather Charles McLAIN, that settled in Lawrence County, ARK with his wife Perlina UNKNOWN belongs to a line of McLAINS that migrated from Rottingham, NC. I'll have to question the other researchers about Newburn / Nuborn as I recall that name being mentioned. They have researched land, tax, wills, etc. tracking a line from North Carolina that migrated probably thru KY and owned land in Gallatin, IL, then settled in Weakley / Henry County, TN, with some coming to Arkansas. It is thought that there were brothers who settled in other areas of Arkansas. Logan County isn't that far from Lawrence County. It appears that my Charles McLAIN, farmer, and wife Perlina UNKNOWN came to Ark. between 1843 and 1850, as they are on the 1850 census in AR. From other research, it appears that the famly traveled back and forth between TN and IL/KY while in TN, and also between ARK / TN. I know that while settled in Arkansas, a son Squire had chidlren in Ark, but one of the younger daughters was born in MO, with the next child born in ARK. So they were going back and forth to ??perhaps other family in MO. States of TN, ARK, MO, IL, KY all very close together at one point. Charles McLAIN, born circa 1804, probably in NC, not certain of parents but have some possibilities Wife: Perlina UNKNOWN, born about 1811 1850 census, Lawrence Co., Strawbury township Children: 5 known *Christianna, b 1830-32, TN *David, b 1834, TN *John Henry, b 1837, TN (my great-great grandfather) *Esquire (Squire, b 1842, TN) *another son born . . . William California, 1853, Lawrence Co.--1860 census. H1860 census info , as well as 1870, 1880 census info Christianna married James SMITH (census info on her family) Had children. David married Susan Mullin. David died. Susan married William FLETCHER. John Henry married Sarah Catherine AGEE, born 1842, TN (Smith Co. I think). Had several children. John Henry died 1880, Lawrence Co., widow Sarah. Squire married Malinda Caroline HARDIN (settled in Bay Siding, Craighead, ARK) Had several children William California married Ellen Fry who died. 2nd wife Nancy Saphronia MEAD. Large family of Children. more info . . . .He died 1912. Was a mail carrier and lived in Jackson County. I have his obit. 1900, 1910 census. Charles McLAIN, born circa 1804, NC, died in 1869. Published loose probate papers (I have source from Lawrence Co. list) name his son John Henry as administrator, and name his daughter Christeny SMITH, mention David McLAIN's death and a daughter Mary by wife Susan MULLIN, "now" married to William FLETCHER, and name his widow as Sarah. (Found a marriage record in 1866 for Charles' 2nd marriage to a Sarah RILEY) My great grandfather is John Henry and Sarah Catherine's son, William David McLAIN, born 1859, Lawrence Co, (Walnut Ridge). First wife Cordelia MOSIER, who died 1897. They are buried in Newport, Jackson, ARK, Walnut Grove Cemetery. His 2nd wife was Clara COOPER, b 1878, Brinkley, Monroe, ARK. They had a large family and raised 2 surviving daughter of the wife Cordelia. Much of the family are buried in Walnut Grove. William David owned a sawmill and was in partnership with his son-in-law John Robert HOLDEN in McLAIN-HOLDEN Land and Lumber CO. in Jackson County. (1906-07 City Directory in possession of a HOLDEN relative) William David McLAIN served as Jackson County Judge 1914-1919.(Info from administrator of Jackson County Rootsweb list and confirmed in historical documents, Jackson County Courthouse) Please let me know if you think there is any relationship of my McLAIN / McCLAIN line to your line. Spelling, of course, varies in documents---sometimes listed as McLEAN, McLANE or McCLANE, as well as McLAIN and McCLAIN. My line settled finally on the use of McLAIN.
