PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF FAYETTE, PICKAWAY AND MADISON COUNTIES, OHIO (Chapman Bros., Chicago, 1892), sketch of Joseph H. Blain, pages 875-876:
... Henry Blain, who was born in Fairfield County, this State, September 15, 1813. ...
Henry Blain, our subject's father, was reared on the home farm. He was educated in the pioneer schools, and at the village of Bloomfield. He conned his lessons in an old log schoolhouse, where a salt kettle served as a stove in the winter. He was twice married. After purchasing his present farm, he began energetically to improve it. At one time he was the owner of four hundred and twenty acres of land, which were accumulated by the hardest work. It is sad to relate that he lost his property by going security for a friend. The old gentleman still lives, and makes his home with our subject. He has been a devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for the greater part of his life. First a Whig, he later pledged his allegiance to the Republican party, and prior to the war was a strong Abolitionist.
Our subject's [father's] first wife was a Miss Margaret Toops. She was the mother of two children. On the death of this lady, Mr. Blain married Mrs. Elizabeth (Hays) Morgan. By her he became the father of the following children: Caroline H., Joseph H., William H., Edward W., Marian [sic], Mattie [sic], Martha, John M. and Mary. Margaret and Sarah are deceased. The mother of these children was born in 1812, and died in her seventy-eighth year. She was a noble woman, whose influence was felt for good throughout the community. Her father, Joseph Hays, was one of the pioneer preachers of the country, and was very energetic in securing the establishment of the church in an early day.
