ROBERT BLAIN was born February 11, 1805, on his present farm of 100 acres, which 
he inherited at the death of his father, and where he has since resided.  He is a 
son of William Blain, who came to York County, Penn., in 1800, and settled in 
Fawn Township, where he resided until his death in 1829.  He followed farming, 
and also did quite a large business in distilling.  Robert Blain was married in 
1872 to Mary Tarbort, daughter of William Tarbort, of Fawn Township.  By this 
union they have been blessed with two children:  Robert S. and Elizabeth.
