James (Blaine) Blain performed Patriotic Service in Pennsylvania in the American Revolution.

James emigrated to America with his first wife Isabella and young son Ephraim in about 1745. They arrived in Pennsylvania. See the history of Perry County, PA. The town of Blain still exists. After Isabella preceded him in death, James married his second wife, Elizabeth Carscadden, in 1784. James served as Lieutenant and assistant commissary in the Revolutionary War.

From: "The Blaine Family," p. 5:

As his family grew to maturity each took up a tract of land around him on the sunny side of the same Juniata. As late as March 24, 1777, a deed from James Blaine and Isabella Blaine, his wife, residents of Toboyne Township, Cumberland County, conveys to William Blaine, one of their sons, four hundred acres in Toboyne.

From p. 6:

Successful in all his business activities, happy in his domestic relations, the father of nine children who survived him, the first recorded grief of James Blaine was the death of his wife Isabella - a loss in some degree repaired by his subsequent marriage Elizabeth Carskaden, daughter of George Carskaden of Toboyne, his friend and neighbor....
