"Robert and Mary ( Irwin ) Bain, and the former was a native of Scotland, while the mother was of Dutch extraction. In early life Robert Bain came to the United States and for some time resided in North Carolina, but the latter part of 1820 witnessed his emigration to what was then the wild west-Jefferson county, Indiana, where he spent his remaining days. The family experienced all the hardships and trials of pioneer life there, but as the years passed the fruits of the father’s labor brought to them a comfortable living. In addition to agricultural pursuits he engaged in work as a teamster. His study of the political questions led him at first to give his support to the Jacksonian Democracy, and his religious faith was that of the Presbyterian church. His life was upright and honorable and to his children he furnished an example well worthy of emulation. He passed away April 12, 1845, at his home in Jefferson county, Indiana, and his wife died in the same locality on the 15th of July, 1849. Their children were: Samuel, William, Robert, James, Sarah, John, Jane, Mary, Margaret, Alexander, Thomas, Nancy, and one daughter that died in infancy, and all are now deceased with the exception of Alexander and his sister Margaret. The parents were laid to rest in the cemetery of the United Brethren church in Jefferson county, Indiana."
