Warren Co. OH and before that Lancaster/Dauphin Co. PA. Am particularly interested in any

his brother John B. CRAIN, d. 11 May 1881, b. Oak Grove Cem. There was also a brother
Joseph A. CRAIN.
Children of William Sawyer CRAIN and his wife Martha Steele Brown included:
William b. Mar 27, 1823 d. July 14, 1830
Ellen b. Nov 4, 1832 d. Nov 13, 1838
