Descendants of Scott McClain
Biography
I was born in New Mexico but grew up mostly on army posts and air force bases overseas. My family lived in Eritrea, Italy and Germany before finally returning to Texas where I went to high school, college, and law school. I practiced law for many years, most of it for Delta Air Lines in Atlanta where I still live.
Nearly all of my father's ancestors were early American colonial immigrants and their descendants who lived in many of the English colonies in North America, including Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas. One of his emigrant ancestors came later, from England to New York in the 1830s. They all migrated west as pioneers, most through the heartland states of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa & Kansas (a few with a brief detour through Oregon and side trips to the Republic of Texas and the New Mexico Territory), and others via a more direct southern path through Tennessee. They all eventually ended up together in Alva, Woods County, Oklahoma, where my father was born. Along the way, they got tangled up in numerous Indian wars, the Salem witch trials, the Regulator rebellion, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Republic of Texas, the American Civil War, the Oregon Trail, and finally the Oklahoma land rush of 1889.
My mother's grandparents were Ellis Island immigrants: Italians from Castiglione Cosentino, in the Cosenza province of Calabria; and Croats from the village of Kópháza, in the Sopron province of what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire. My wife's ancestors include Irish potato famine refugees who settled in Boston in the 1840s and more Ellis Islanders -- Poles, Croats, alpine Italians, Norwegians, and Lithuanian Jews. My children's ancestors seem to run the gamut of European-American stories.

Sorry for the delay. Hi 7th cousin, nice to meet you. I added you to the trusted list of Thomas Askren and our common ancestors. Thank you for cleaning up the profile. Let me know if I can help.Jeff
Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Participation in aPre-1700 Project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants.
It looks like theUS History would be a good fit with the tag you entered. Adding the tag United_States_History will help you get updates about activity for that project.
Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)
