~FRANKLIN McLAIN/MCCLAIN~
Franklin McLain, farmer, was born in Hopkins County, KY., March 15, 1831.  His Father, Samuel, formerly from South Carolina, in early life settled in  Hopkins County, and here married Lurania Warson.  He was a farmer, and died while on a prospecting tour in Missouri, a few months before the birth of our subject, the youngest of his three children. 
The mother, a native of South Carolina, came in 1850 with our subject to Gallatin County and settled on their present homestead.  She died in Jefferson County in September 1877. 
Reared on the farm, and with a limited education, our subject has been chiefly devoted to agriculture.  November 11, 1852, he married Mary, daughter of Owen Riley, in Saline County.  They had but one child (deceased).  After his wife's death. December 9, 1853, he married in Gallatin County, September 2, 1854, Nancy, daughter of Nicholas Purcell, a millwright and farmer, a native of New York, and who died in 1842 from injuries received while employed at his trade.  From this marriage are the following children: Jessie M., Francis M., Calvin B., Lucy A., Ellen, Clara, Lewis V., Guy, Viola and Iva.  His wife was born in Gallatin County, October 10, 1836.  Our subject is a Democrat, first voting for Pierce.  He has a fine home and farm of 180 acres, three miles north of Equality, devoted to wheat and clover seed."
