McClain

Seek info on John (M.?) McClain, also known as John Sr., b 17 Jun 1778 d 15 APR 1846 Married to Rebecca Stephens 1781-1845, resided in Greenback community. Both buried in Jackson Cemetery there. Would like to know if he is son of a John McClain 1746-1798, also believed to be of Blount County. Any info on this older John could be helpful. Also any help in finding the property location of John and Rebecca as well as their son Alexander Clark McClain 1816-1890. Alexander was beaten badly by "Yankee bushwhackers" and relieved of all his belongings and household furnishings during the Civil War. The family fled to Kentucky. He returned to sell the land and empty house a few years later.
