Jeremiah Main, born 13 Apr 1732 in Stonington, New London County, Connecticut, was the third child of Jeremiah Main Jr. (1708-1780) and Abigail (Worden) Main (1709-1741).
Richard Brewster Main says Jeremiah died 1805 in Litchfield, NY, and is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Herkimer, NY. See reference from Find A Grave. Also Richard Brewster Main in his biography on Find a Grave says:
Current interests are trying to sort relationships of MAIN's in NY with those in Dodge County, WI in the mid 1800's. Strong interest in MAIN's from Rensselear County and Madison County both NY. I have come across many large 19th Century concentrations of Mains in New London County, CT; Rensselear County, NY; Madison County, NY; Delaware County, OH; Dane County, WI; Allegany County, NY; Cayuga County, NY; Frederick County, MD; Erie and Crawford Counties, PA; and Santa Clara County, CA. All interrelated. I have noticed there are several families always close by in these pockets and intermarried with Main's, notably Brown, Wheeler, Coon, Burdick, Stillman, Paine, Babcock, .... It also appears that whole Main families moved to the next new counties west with dozens and even hundreds of fellow 7th Day Baptists. Very often a Main was an Elder or Deacon.
