Thomas, Wiliam, Abigail Blain-Warwick, Orange, NY
I am interested in any information on Thomas or William Blain from Warwick, Orange Co, NY.I'm particularly interested in William's daughter Abigail and her possible connection to a Henry Sams.
I found this in a document in the DAR library in Washington D.C. called Historical Papers No 2, Part 2 and published in Warwick, NY in 1933.
"Thomas Blain was probably a young man when he came here (meaning Warwick Valley, Orange Co., NY) for he soon married Catherine, daughter of Joseph Wisner, who had settled in the Mt. Eve section prior to 1714.
Thomas Blain, in his will probated in 1744, names his sons William and John and daughters Ann, Margaret and Elizabeth. Ann married Benjamin Burt; Margaret married Joseph Perry and Elizabeth married Samuel Lobdell. William and John were both Revolutionary soldiers. William Blain had been commissioned a Major before the Battle of Minisink and served in that terrible struggle with the Indians in which he and Col. Hathorn both escaped with their lives. Major Blain died in October 1779, leaving no will, but by the "Articles of Agreement" made between the widow and children we find his heirs were: wife, Hannah; children, Thomas, Abigail, Catherine, Sarah, Hanah, Elizabeth, Margaret, Jean, William, Hester and Joseph.
His daughter Hannah married Thomas DeKay, whose son Major Thomas Blain Dekay and wife Sarah E. Cowdrey, were the parents of the late Henry Blain Dekay of Vernon, N.J. Major William Blain's son, Thomas, was a lieutenant in the Revolution and moved to Vernon, N.J. John Blain and his wife Jane are buried on the old Blain farm. with only rough stones to mark their resting place and simply their names and the dates of their deaths -- 1816 and 1817."
Anyone researching this family, please e-mail me at [email protected] or respond on this forum.
