I don't hear from people in "Winesburg, Ohio" very often. There is a great deal of information on the Mains of Washington & Smyth County, Ohio in the Delaware County, Ohio Public Library and in the Archives of the Delaware County Historical Society. They were Primitive Baptists, so they were affiliated with the Marlborough Primitive Baptist Church on Horseshoe Road, Troy Township, Ohio (Near Ashley). There are tons of them buried in the cemetery there. The original brothers (I believe there were 7 of them) moved to Delaware County around 1815. I've lived in Falmouth (Cape Cod) for the past 5 years, and lived the previous 25 years in Chelmsford, MA, so I don't get back to Delaware County but every 2 or 3 years, but they have wonderful research records there. If you want to learn more about the Mains I'd recommend getting in touch w! ith the Delaware County Historical Society (They're on-line) and finding out all you can as to where the records are and when the Archives/Library are open. Joining the Society is cheap ($15 dollars a year), but it's worth the price. Just down the Road, in Columbus, is the Ohio Historical Society Library, near the Ohio State Fairgrounds. They also have a huge repository of genealogical information. Good Hunting Bob Sherwood
