    In 1812 Peter owned 800 acres in Valley of Caney Fork River in Tennessee at the mouth of Sink
    River. He listed his occupation as a farmer.
    _____________________________________________
    From "A Bicentennial History of DeKalb Co, Tennessee" by Thomas G Webb, I find the following...
    "From the Young Bend on up, the river became quite narrow, with steep hillsides and much smaller
    strips of bottom land. On one of these at the mouth of Sink Creek, John and Anthony Pate (probably
    brothers) had houses built by 1811, near what became known as Pate's Ford. Living near the Pates,
    though not necessarily on the river, were Peter Bain by 1812 and Isaac and Leonard Adcock before
    1820."
    Also...
    "Smithville had a Methodist campground. In 1841 Gilies Driver conveyed 2 1/2 acres for that purpose
    to the trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church; Charles Ferrell, David Fite, Zachariah Moore,
    Archibald Bain, Leonard F. Moore, H.O.T. Heald, James Kerr, Isaac N. Murphy, and J.C. Cannady.
    The location was just south of town on a spring branch about where the junction of Highways 70 and
    56 is in 1995. As in Alexandria, the Methodists were the first and largest church in Smithville".

    Kevin L. Bandy Peter Bain, Son of Edwin & Sara Bain came to Tennessee with his Mother and brothers, after the
    death of his Father, about the year of 1810 or 1811.
    Archibald, his brother, had a land grant on Sink Creek and Peter bought land on the other side after
    marrying. He raised his family there. When the county lines were established, Archibald's land was in
    Warren Co. and Peter's was in DeKalb Co..
    Peter died of Pneumonia and is buried in the Bain Cemetery where he had established a
    church-school in the Belk Community in DeKalb Co., TN. The grave stones were made of native
    sandstone rock and time, weather, and neglect have worn the names away so we do not know the
    exact location of each grave in the cemetery.
    Peter's children followed the opening of the land west after selling
    their home places that they inherited; all, but William and Isaiah.
    Isaiah was a Civil War victim leaving six children, which William was appointed their guardian and
    they stayed in Tennessee.
    Sinah Benton daughter of David Benton and Mary Womack was born on 17 Sep 1789 in Ky or NC.

    Peter Bain and Sinah Benton were married in 1814 in Warren Co., TN. They had the following
    children:

    1838 in Dekalb Co., TN. He died on 01 Sep 1897 in Garland Co., AR[7].

    about 1848 in White Co., TN. He died on 10 Apr 1910 in White Co., TN.
    Notes for William Bain:
    General Notes:
    1850: John K. Bain in his biography stated that in the settlement of his fathers will that
    brother "Bill" was living in Missouri. John said Bill came home in the winter of 1851 and he
    went back with him the first part of 1852. Since Bill was given land in White Co., TN as part
    of his inheritance, then John may have meant he went there and not to Missouri.

    years & since that time. William Baine has a farm on Caney Fork River White Co
    Tennessee of about 40 acres. Bottom land subject to cultivation 16 acres the
    balance of the farm is Bluff & hills. The 16 acres has been cultivated until
    it is tired and make 4 to 5 barrels per acre of corn about sixty barrels was
    gathered in 1899 and claimant Baine was entitled to one-half of the crop
    ruined, he had a buggy, has one mule and one cow and seven shoats or hogs;
    claimant has no money at interest nor now on hand. He sold the calf from his
    cow to pay taxes. Claimant had owned more land but as far back as 1892 his was
    sold for debt for years he has not been able to do labor for ten years he has
    not chopped a fire of wood he is old and infirm, but honest and upright. His
    wife is fast past a middle age she had been immoral in her early life a

    years she had a reputation for good morals before and since. The claima
