Research:
Per email from Marilyn Tart, granddaughter of Max Gain, on 8/31/2009.
I also have the names of Joshia Gain and Mary Green as the parents of John Gain - but again, I don't have authentic sources for that information. I think it was from some records I found at the Genealogy Library in Salem, the county seat. I would love to go back there again and see what other bits of info I could find. Everyone at the Library, and the Courthouse, were very helpful and we had a marvelous 2 or 3 days in the area.
