Message Board Post:

Three sisters from my CRAIN line ended up in Van Buren Co IA. Their family was in Lancaster/Dauphin Co PA at the time of the Revolutionary War, moved on to Warren County OH before 1799. Then on to Fountain Co IN in 1827 and to Iowa in 1838.

Their parents were William and Mary SAWYER CRAIN. William’s parents were George and Jean STURGEON CRAIN, George’s parents William (born Ireland) and Jean CRAIN.

Other siblings included William Sawyer CRAIN, John B. CRAIN, Joseph A. CRAIN and Margaret CRAIN BROWN. Several family members are buried in Oak Grove Cemetery, Fountain Co. IN.

Also a gravestone photo of their father William in Springboro Cemetery, Warren Co. OH. along with photos of my JOHNSON line (Nancy Crain’s in-laws James & Mary and husband William JOHNSON):

I would like to exchange info with anyone descended from these families. And would especially like to know the death location and burial of Mary SAWYER CRAIN.

Thanks.
