Subject: Re: [InFounta] CRAIN bio - Death Date
Nancy Crain Johnson married William Johnson in Warren county OH on
11
Apr 1820. Nancy and William Sawyer Crain's parents were William and
Mary Sawyer Crain. William Crain died in Warren Co OH 8 Aug 1836.
William and Nancy Crain Johnson moved to Fountain Co. about 1827 and
to Van Buren county IA about 1836-37. When William Johnson died in
Iowa in 1845, Nancy then married Joseph Rabb who had also been with
them in Warren county OH and Fountain county IN. Joseph Rabb's
brother Johnston Rabb lived most of his life in Fountain county.

My Johnsons and Crains were in Lancaster/Dauphin Co PA before coming
to OH and IN.
