Family History
The oldest pictures of any McLains we have are of Fulton McLain II (Henry’s father and Mary Helena’s Uncle) and his wife Jane Jack. Fulton McLain (II) was born in New York and Jane Jack was born in Raisin Township in Lenawee County Michigan. He is the McLain that inherited Fulton Jack’s land because, presumably, Jane couldn’t hold the land and was Fulton Jack’s only heir. Read more about the McLain/Jack family land here.
This is Henry’s and Mary Helena’s family tree
Mary Helena was born in 1874, her parents were John Elliot and Sophia MacLaughlin. John Elliot was also Henry McLain’s first cousin because his mother Jane McLain was Fulton McLain II’s older sister. Fulton II is Henry’s father. In short, Mary Helena Elliot and Henry McLain were first cousin’s once removed. They were married in Moscow, New York in 1894.
