Hello to all Bain listers!

After much hunting, I FINALLY HAVE MY MATERNAL
GREAT-GRANDPARENTS' NAMES!!

My maternal grandfather was CLABE BAIN who married
ELLEN DAVIS.

They had several children, although I have definite
info only on my grandmother -- LUCY BAIN, bn 13th
MARCH 1891 in Barboursville, Knox Co, KY; died 1985 in
Ewing, Lee Co, VA. She married 1st JAMES POINDEXTER
and had a son and two daughters. Family lore has his
death during the 1917/1918 flu epidemic.

Lucy married 2nd to MARLIN CHILL BRACKETT, who was
born 1851 and was 40 years her senior. (This marriage
was also Chill's second marriage.) They had three
daughters, the youngest of which was my mom -- WILMA
GENE/JEAN BRACKETT, born 22nd MAY 1928 (note that her
birth certificate has another date in MAY 1928 -- if
memory serves me correctly, the date is 28th MAY
1928).

If you do the math, you will see that CHILL was 77
years old when he fathered my mother!! Chill died
from mitral regurgitation in 1937 and is buried with
his first wife CHINA HENDRICKSON in Four Mile Hollow,
Bell Co, KY. Chill's mother was SALLIE BRACKET; his
father WILLIAM DEAN -- he must have been born out of
wedlock.

Other BAIN children -- siblings of LUCY BAIN BRACKETT
-- possibly a GREG BAIN and another brother -- could
be PHILIP or JEFF BAIN.

Note that one of my great-grandparents -- either ELLEN
DAVIS or CLABE BAIN was part CREEK AMERICAN INDIAN
(perhaps as much as 1/2 CREEK INDIAN).

This is my NEW FIND and you can imagine the excitement
of getting another generation!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Best regards.
