I am searching for information on my great great grandfather Oliver Perry Bain (Bayne). I found a Mrs. Dan Bain of Newkirk listed under Indian Papers, ordered the film from LDS a month ago but it still hasn't arrived. Don't know it is my Bains or not. Does anyone know Mrs. Bain or any of Oliver Perry's descendants. He was buried in Perkin, OK, 1901. After his death his wife Mahala and two children came to Californai. He was from Ohio, lived around MO, fought in the Mexican War and the Civil War. All the info I have gathered to date is listed below. Any type of help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
