Notes

  • Note*: Bio in Hain Family book:

    "Henry Hain was a stanch patriot and during the Revolutionary War was almost a fanatic in the cause of freedom. Upon hearing of Benedict Arnold's treason in the fall of 1780, he insisted that all his sons enlist. He went with them and endeavored to enlist also, but Colonel Broadhead persuaded him to return home saying 'It is a shame to suffer so old a man to perform the arduous duties of a solider.' In the years 1767, 1768 and 1769 the tax records of Berks County show Henry Hain paying tax in Heidelberg Township on 200 acres of land, and at the time of his death the farm now owned by Dr. Samuel S. Hill (west of Wernersville), and the farm now held by Daniel M. Hain, were part of his tract."2
