General Notes: Husband - John McMains

---

His father came to south-western Pennsylvania from Kentucky, settling in what is now known as Baldwin township, in Allegheny County, at a period when that section was a wilderness and occupied by Indians. He was of Scotch descent. Either he or his son John took up from the government 400 acres of land near White Hall, Allegheny County, which was afterward taken from them in a fraudulent manner. An attorney once offered to reclaim the land for the heirs, but it had then passed into innocent hands, and William McMains, son of John, refused to consent to such an attempt.

He was a ranger in the early days, and told how, in a charge he made with others, he ran after an Indian whom he wanted to capture. The Indian dodged his bayonet and escaped in a thicket. He could have killed the Indian, but desired to take him alive.
