Hi: I have been to the graveyard and there is no stone. I also have wondered what the connection is. Unless somehow they have all been buried in the same area. Do you have anything on this connection. Mary

Hi Tim, how wonderful!! Yes that's my connection all right. The grandparents of my husband were Percy Gain and Daisy Freda Elizabeth Burt.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to contact you as your email address doesn't seem to be available to me without a subscription. If you would click on my user name my email address should come up. But just in case it doesn't I will type it here but with at for @ to avoid spammers.

Hope this makes sense to you. I would love to hear from you. And of course, happy to try and fill any gaps you may have also

Since I posted the message you responded to, I now have the family passenger info to NZ. I hope to be visiting my mother-in-law later this week, so it will be great to share my findings with her.

I see there are others at the bottom of the message page researching Gains in Hastings as well! I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards
Jeanne

Hi,

I've been doing a lot of research on the Gain's over the years and I think I can help.

I have Percival, as "Percy", born 3rd Qtr 1899 in Hastings, Sussex, England, Married 1922 in New Zealand to Daisy Freda Elizabeth Burt and died in 1941. He was the son of George Henry Gain and Kate Mary Burton. He was one of six children, who I think, all emmigrated to NZ at some point.

Feel free to contact me if you want some more info.

Regards,

Tim

Hi:
These Gain people are my husband's relatives. Did you ever find who the other people were. We went to the cemetery and there were no stones so it wasn't to much help. Mary

I just stayed at the Jeffersonian, a B&B in Jeffersonville, NY (near Liberty), that was built for a Dr. J. Cameron Gain around 1900. His framed degrees (dating from about 1905 and 1907) are in the second story of the house. I haven't been able to find out much else about him.

Hi Paul! Thanks for contacting me (& Meg) re: our family. Here is some info re: my GAIN's -- STEPHEN GAIN (1) was a
Master Carman (or equivalent to a carrier)

Child of STEPHEN GAIN is:
2. i. STEPHEN GAIN (2), b. 1824, England.

Generation No. 2

2. STEPHEN2 GAIN (STEPHEN (1)) was born 1824 in England. He married ELIZABETH PAULDING in Kennington, part of the London district of Lambeth, daughter of ALEXANDER PAULDING. She was born 1828 in England.

Notes for STEPHEN GAIN:
Worked as a shoemaker and the family always registered as Wesleyan Methodists

Thank you, Jay. I'm especially interested in the Jacob Gain and Eve Ash family. And, also the parents / grandparents of Elias Gain b. ca 1827 who married Mary Elizabeth Davisson in 1848.

Your GG Grandfather and mine were brothers. I am named after your GG Grandfather. My GG Grandfather was Enoch Gain. They were the sons of Thomas. My Great Grandfather Enoch's son was named James Edward, as well as my dad and myself. I have the geneology for this line of Gain's starting with William in 1682. I would be happy to mail you a copy if you would like.

Sheila, I wonder if you can help me with info surrounding Charles & Catherine Gain. I have a tangled mess with Elias Gain (b. 1827) who married Mary Elizabeth Davisson. Some folks have Elias' parents as Charles Gain (s/o Thomas) & Nellio Prouse. But I haven't managed to find any info about a Nellio. And, while I have Elias b. 1827, marriage records show Charles and Catherine as marrying in 1825. Was Catherine Elias' mother? In another place, I found an Elias (with close birth and death dates) as the son of Joshua Gain and Mary (Catherine's parents). I think Mary would have been too old to have a son born in 1827. Do you have Elias in your database? I'd appreciate any bit of info that might help straighten me out here.

Jay, I am embarrassed to be so slow in answering your kind response to my query. We were traveling when you posted and I thought I'd get back to you after we returned home. We've come and gone again several times. I hope you are still interested.

Do I understand that your name is James Edward Gaines? That seems to have been a popular name. I think I have managed to untangle some confusion between two James Edwards born about the same time. One was apparently your "namesake," son of Thomas (found in Harrison Co. deaths & Inventories, Settlements & Sale Bills at the Court Hosue, d. 1893 Harrison Co., WV). The other was the son of Jacob & Eve Ash (found in deeds to Jacob's heirs, d. 1903 in Gilmer Co., WV).

GaryViolette99 — 2006-04-14 01:37:34Z

His name may have been Armstead, appears on the 1850 Census Todd Co KY.

Her name may have been Pamela and her p.o.d. may have possibly been Hickman Co KY aft. 1880.

Any info appreciated. Thanks!

I'm sorry, Kathy, I don't have your family names in my database. I think I have most of the Gain / Gaines who were in the Harrison Co., WV, area in the early 1800s through 1880 but not all from the late 1800s forward. Good luck in your search!

I would love to touch base with those doing Gaines genealogy. I great grandfather's name was James Henry Gaines married to Katherine Maddox in Alabama in 1882. I have attempted several different ways to get more information on James' father and wondered if it could be your line. I have been to Alabama doing research and really came up with nothing that I could prove. My g-grandfather died young? His youngest was only 18months old. I located this in the census record as his wife was living with her father. I can't find my g-grandfather in the census records for sure as James Gaines was such a common name in the south. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Kathy Sharp
