Captain Pain Convers had a daughter Orinda who married Samuel Sherwood 26 Mar 1806. Capt Pain's children were Reverand Jeremiah; Barnard; Elias; Hamblin; Levina; Alfred; Orinda; Pain; Erastus and Gardner. Reverend Jeremiah also had a daughter named Orinda. I recently found two large books on the Converse geneology in the Plain City library. Reverand Jeremiah was the first minister in this area and moved his entire family here. Sherwood is common name here, so it is possible his sister moved here also. Now that I know what is available, let me know what you are looking for and I can go to the library or the cemetary.
