No, I can't verify exact date. It would have to be after his 1871 marriage to Sally
Tew. The account of his death in the "battle of Shiloh" feud is very detailed
but doesn't give any date other than "soon after his marriage".
Interesting fact is that Sally married Gabe's brother, John R. Chain (my g-grandfather
by his 2nd wife). My guess is that she was still pregnant & needed a husband? Her son
Gabriel I. Chain was b. July 9, 1872.
