Isabel Main

√ Parent of Anna A Main
Great grandmother of Lee A Stephens

Delaware County, Ohio

Isabel gave birth to her daughter Anna in 1856 at her home in Delaware County, Ohio. In 1860 she married Marion Main, and they had six children. From Anna’s 1874 diary, we can tell that she had a very good relationship with her stepfather, Marion Main, and with her grandfather, Jonas Main.

In lawsuits shortly after Anna Main was born, Jonas and Isabel Main named Anna’s father. That young man had married another woman, so Isabel and her father sued him for breach of promise. The court dismissed the case, so we cannot say with certainty that we know Anna’s father’s name. It was a case of “he said” versus “she said.”
