Hello: My name is Joan Bain. I am in Randleman, North Carolina. I am researching my husbands family. His father was killed when he was little and the family has not had any contact with the "Bain's" since the accident. I have little to go on. I have followed back through census to his g-g-grandfather. David C. Bain born in 1826. He was married to Frances Devinney in Guilford Co., North Carolina in 1848. I can not find his father or get any farther back. I think he had a brother named Joshua C. and W. C. They were listed living next door on census reports. I also suspect a sister named Mary who married a Reitzel. I have found the graves of JC, WC & Mary. There were not any listings on the tombstones of parents of any of the Bains. There was a Jonathan Bain Sr., aged 84 at death, buried along with Mary & husband. I can not find a wife or son for this Jonathan. He would have been much too old to have fathered these children. Does any of this match anything you have ran across in your research? Any information you have to match and share would be greatly appreciated.
