Blain Family of Kaufman County, Texas
Kim Hunt 1/02/06
The Blains of Kaufman County are associated with my family, some of them having married with my Lindsey kin. I do have some information on them, however.
James A Blain was the son of William Yancy Blain b-1812 and Susan Lucy Ann Watson b-1821. Both were born in SC and made the move to Kaufman, TX, I believe in the 1870's, this was after the primary surge of immigration shortly following the end of the war.
My records show (this info is primarily from the US census, Kaufman County Marriage records and TX birth index records--with some attempt to clear up the incongruities) the following info.
James' siblings were
Francs b 1827
Elizabeth b-1838
Margaret b-1842
Calvin Casper b-1843 (m-Cinderella Emaline Lindsey)
William A b-1845
Mary Lucy b-1846
Mahala A b-1852
Emily E b-1856
Samuel Smithb-1862
George H b-1862
