The Mcmains Men of
Indiana (USA) |
||
|
Before
the Mcmains family emigrated westward
into Iowa, they lived in Indiana. Many chose to remain in Indiana,
and thus there were many Mcmains men who joined regiments in that
state. My roster of Mcmains Men in Indiana includes these men. At least
one of these
men served in both Iowa and Indiana regiments (Anderson Mcmains),
showing that the connection between the Mcmains in these two states was
still very much intact.

The Mcmains Men of
Nebraska and Kansas (USA) |
||
---|---|---|
|
When
the Civil War began, a few
Mcmains families had emigrated as far as Nebraska Territory and Kansas.
While I have not identified many Mcmains men from these areas that
served, I am including the two that I have identified. Hopefully, this
roster will grow as others add to my list. Abraham Ples Mcmains served 6 months in Nebraska Territory. His regiment was not involved in fighting the Confederacy, but did fight Native Americans, in western Nebraska. He was a great granduncle of mine. His brother served in the 40th Infantry Iowa. Samuel, or Andrew Mcmains (both names are found in records), served in the 19th Cavalry, Kansas.

McMains Men of Pennsylvania (USA) |
||
Pennsylvania provided many soldiers for the Union Army. Among those were at least two with the surname of McMains. These persons remain unknown in that we do not know from what family they hail. We do know that there is a Pennsylvania connection in our McMains ancestry. In time, we will be able to determine if these lines represent McMains "broken branches" or "other branches" . For now, they are listed as both.

Joseph Washington
McMains was born In Missouri, but moved with his family to Texas
from Arkansas, about 1857. Joseph had military experience
previous to the start of the civil war and served as a Texas Mounted
Volunteer, as well as a Texas Minuteman. In 1864, he joined the 36th
Texas Cavalry, under the command of Captain John Tom. He was mustered
in from Atascosa County.
