Generation: 1
1. | William Maines was born about 1773 in North Carolina; died on 19 Sep 1849 in Sabine Parish, Louisiana. Notes:
Allen Weeks Methvin provided this transcription of his obituary:
"19 SEP 1849 in Sabine Parish, Louisiana, probably the first settler in the vicinity of Many was William Mains, who settled the plantation now owned by the heirs of Louis and Frances Buvens. Mr. Mains was born in North Carolina and in early life was left an orphan. He was kidnapped by some traders and carried to the North and apprenticed to a carpenter and learned to be an expert woodworker. On reaching manhood he went to Pike County, Mississippi, where he was married, and, in 1830, moved with his family to Louisiana, near the present town of Many. Indians still roamed the woods, and wild animals were numerous. He was compelled to cut his way through a dense cane brake to make a clearing for the house which he constructed. Mr. Mains was the father of seven children, [NOTE: actually, he was the father of 13 children, 7 sons] one of whom, Noah, is still living, a resident of Pleasant Hill. William, the oldest son, who shared with his father the trials of pioneer life, was born in 1817 in Pike County, Mississippi, and died June 26, 1904. During the Mexican War he moved army equipment from Fort Jesup to the old Block House on the Sabine River. At his death he was survived by two sons, W.C. and Rich Mains, and two daughters Madames W.L. Shull and Asa Vines."
