Hello, These are not my relatives, but I thought someone might like to have the history for their records. It came from the: "1892 Portrait & Biographical Album of Genesee, Lapeer & Tuscola Counties, Chapman Bros", in Michigan. Hope it helps someone. Colleen "colleen mysliwiec" myscolleen@hotmail.com MIX McWAIN. This public-spirited and highly esteemed citizen of Grand Blanc Township, Genesee County, who enjoys to a marked degree the confidence of his fellow-men, and who has a fine tract of eighty acres of rich and well-cultivated land, upon which he carries farming and stock-raising, is a native of this county and was born September 2, 1852. His parents, Theodore P. and Mary C. McWain, were both natives of New York State, the former of White Creek, Washington County, and brought their family to Pembroke, Genesee County, in 1850, settling in a log cabin, which has been torn down for several years. The father cleared and cultivated his land during the summers and taught winters, and was one of the first teachers in the township. Four of his seven children are living, viz: Mix, Asa; Dora, the wife of John D. Barton, and Willie J. The mother died January 21, 1885, but the father is still living and has served for two terms as Supervisor of Grand Blanc Township and also as Justice of the Peace. He is a Democrat in his political views and is now in his sixty-seventh year. Mix McWain has from his youth been practically engaged in farming, and he received his education in the district schools of Grand Blanc Township and afterward attended for several terms the Flint High School. He subsequently taught for a number of terms, doing good work in this line. Our subject was married December 17, 1876, to Florence L. Brainerd, a native of Grand Blanc Township and a daughter of Girden and Elvira (Woodwroth) Brainerd, natives of New York and Vermont respectively, both now deceased. To them has been born one son, Clarence B., who came to them October 20, 1886. He of whom we write is a self-made man in the sense of having worked out his own fortunes and having achieved his own education with but little help from others. He is earnestly in favor of all movements which favor the social and industrial progress of the township, and is a Prohibitionist in his political views.
