Daniel Bain (also recorded as Baine, Bane, or Bayne; c. 1760 – 1838) married Sarah Ross, daughter of William Ross Sr., in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, in 1789. Widowed, he remarried in White County, Illinois, in 1820, and died there in 1838.
Biography
Early life and Revolutionary War service
According to a county history published in 1883, Daniel Bain was born in 1762 in Virginia, of Scottish descent, and enlisted in the Revolutionary War at about fourteen years of age, serving four years until the war's close; the same account states that he was present at the Battle of Bunker Hill.[1] Descendants of his son Daniel H. Bain applied for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution on the strength of this service; the application was recorded under the name "Daniel Bayne" (DAR Ancestor No. A007694), but the DAR was unable to corroborate the service beyond the 1883 county history account.[1] Daniel Bain's own age at death in 1838 — given as 78 — indicates a birth year of about 1760, slightly earlier than the 1762 given in the county history.[1]
Marriage to Sarah Ross, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
On 29 December 1789, Daniel Bain married Sarah Ross in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina; Sarah's father, William Ross, signed the marriage bond as bondsman.[2] Daniel Bain was active in land transactions with the Ross family in the years immediately following: in January 1792, his father-in-law, William Ross Sr., conveyed him 869 acres on Rocky River, Mecklenburg County;[3] and on 19 April 1793, Daniel Bain, by then of the newly formed Cabarrus County, conveyed those same 869 acres — four tracts, including the original grant No. 3681 tract — to "William Ross, Junior," for £400, witnessed by David McKinley Sr. and William Ross [Sr.][4] Separately, on 12 April 1798, John Ross and his wife Elizabeth, of Cabarrus County, conveyed Daniel Bain 40 acres on the south side of Rocky River — including an improvement already in Bain's possession — under a land-office patent to John Ross of the same date; this appears to be a land-office grant and immediate resale on the same day. The relationship, if any, of this John Ross to William Ross Sr. of Rocky River's family has not been established.[5]
At the Stewart County, Tennessee Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions held at Dover on 3 August 1812, Daniel Bain (by then apparently resident in the same Tennessee community as his in-laws) was one of several men, including Charles Ross, Joshua Ross, and Stephen Howell, ordered to work a stretch of road under the oversight of Charles Ross.[6]
Move to Illinois and second marriage
Daniel Bain migrated west to White County, Illinois, before the town of Carmi was settled, arriving by 1806.[1] Sarah Ross Bain had died by this time; Daniel Bain remarried on 12 December 1820, in White County, Illinois, to Susannah Dozier (also spelled Dozer), a widow with six children by her first husband, George Arey (Ary), whom she had married 31 July 1804 in Greenbrier County, (West) Virginia.[1][7] Susannah, born about 1788–1789 in Shenandoah County, Virginia, of German descent, had two more sons and four more daughters with Daniel Bain; only one of these, George William Bain Sr., is documented by name and date.[1]
Daniel Bain, Sr., was a member of the Old School Presbyterian Church, and died in 1838, at age 78, in Franklin County, Illinois.[1]
Children
By Sarah Ross:
- "William Baine", from the same 1829 Stewart County deed used to document Sarah's own parentage, not an independent source naming a son
- Daniel H. Bain, born 5 May 1794 in North Carolina, one of twelve children attributed to Daniel Bain's first marriage.[1] He married Nancy Ann Kennedy on 21 July 1825 in White County, Illinois, served as a private in the 2nd Regiment, Tennessee Western Militia, in the War of 1812, and died 6 December 1868 in Franklin County, Illinois, where he is buried in Phillips Cemetery, Ewing.[8]
By Susannah Dozier:
- George William Bain Sr., born 6 July 1828 in Phillips Township, White County, Illinois, married Adaline Madden on 4 December 1850 in Carmi, White County, Illinois, and died 14 October 1909 in Springerton, White County, Illinois.[9]
- Two further sons and four further daughters are attributed to this marriage but are not documented by name for this article.[1]

Research notes
Common discrepancies
- A biography of Daniel H. Bain's own grandson, Daniel Bain III, gives his parents as "Daniel Bain, Jr., who served in the War of 1812, and Nancy (Canada) Bain," rather than Daniel H. Bain and Nancy Ann Kennedy; this discrepancy is unresolved.
