Dear Patricia.
Thanks so much for your response and commentary. I have little to add other than the early 19th c. CAINS were no doubt related. Pioneering, in those days, was usually done in groups of related blood-lines with other allied-families.
Miss Cain's issue fore-names do not seem to offer any clues to her ancestry, however her grand-childrens' names do suggest interest, i.e., 'Gideon, Wesley'. If you run across these Christian-names is your research, please do inform me.
Again, many thanks...David Hennessee

Subject: Re: CAIN
Dear David,
Thank you for the information you sent. There are some very interesting things there that I have not previously seen. I have just recently found my Cain family in Warren county, TN.
I have found a few things. First of all, let me tell you what I do know, or believe to be true about my Cains. The James Cain in Warren Co, TN I am quite sure is mine (actually my husband's). The reason is that in the 1830 census he is living next door to Owen Kersey. Owen Kersey is married to James' daughter Ruth. They are also together on the 1840 census of Marion Co, TN, at least living near, and also on the 1850 census of Ozark Co, MO. I did not find them on the 1840 until just recently because the name is spelled KAIN. On the 1850 it is spelled KEAN.
On the 1820 I only found James Cain and John Cain in Warren Co. I have not looked through it thoroughly. I have thought they were probably related. Perhaps brothers, but possibly father and son. The 1850 census indicates that James was born about 1781, but the 1820 says he was 45 +, indicating it would be 1775 or earlier. The 1830 says he was 50-60, indication 1770-1780. The 1840 says 60-70.
I don't know where you saw my information. But since seeing these earlier censuses in Warren co, TN, I now believe he had several more children than I have previously known about. On the 1820, he has 3 boys and 5 girls, assuming all of the children there are his. On the 1830, he has 6 boys and 4 girls. On the 1840, he has 1 boy and 3 girls.
What I am getting at is that your Abigail or Miss Cain or Elizabeth could easily be one of James Cain's daughters. It is possible that John could also be his son. Although the birthdate for James would have to be a little before 1780.
Now there is William Cain and Hannah Stanfield [10 Aug 2010 - FamilySearch.org:http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=ancestorsearchresults.asp] . I don't know how to figure them in with my James Cain and the others. Are they related or not? So far I can't tell. I know my James Cain was born in NC, but there are a lot of Cains in NC, particularly in Orange and Bladen cos, and as you mentioned, Surry. So I haven't figured out where my James came from.
Here is a question. Is it possible that the Warrem Co, TN property where the Cains lived is the same place in the Sequatchie Co that was later in Marion Co, and now in Sequatchie Co? Probably not, but I know there were a lot of boundary changes and new counties created. Probably someone who knows a lot about Warren co, history would know that.
On the Warren co usgenweb site www.tngenweb.org/warren/ I found a Goodspeed, History of Tennessee, Warren County excerpt. It mentions that "Among those who secured grants from North Carolina calling for lands in Warren County were... ...James Kane..." He was the only Kane/Cain/Kain mentioned. It also mentioned later that he was in the Fifth District.
I have wondered when he actually went to Warren Co from NC. Your data indicates that George W. Cain, one of James' sons, was born in Warren co in 1809. I think the county was created in 1807.
I have corresponded with several Cain cousins in the past, and have not really kept the correspondences all together. I think I will try to get all the people together so we can share information. I have been invited to a STONE family reunion in June is Sequatchie County where James CAIN settled and where 2 of his children married children of William STONE. So I think some of the people there will also be Cain descendants. My husband and I plan to attend, and also spend some time researching in that area, as well as Marion Co, Arkansas, and Ozark Co, MO, where our Cains lived later. My husband's mother is Hester Clara CAIN Gausnell, age 92, and she was born in Marion Co, AR. We will probably go there first, and then to TN. Before then I would like to try to get a bunch more research done and make contact with more Cain relatives.
Thank you again for this information, and let's keep in touch.

Hi All,
I have found some more info that may help some of us figure out our Cains in Cumberland CO KY.
William Cain md Hannah Stanfield in 1790's in Surry NC, in 1800 census he had 1 male 0-10 2 males 26-45 , 1 female 0-10 and 1 female 26-45, this in Surry. In 1810 Cumberland Census he had 1 male 0-10, 2 males 16-26 and he was over 45, he had 1 female 0-10 and 1 26-45. So at this point he had 3 males in house and 1 daughter,
in 1815 Lucinda Cain md Joel Claywell,
in 1823 Thomas Cain md Margaret Claywell(siblings).
These 2 families left Cumberland after 1830 and went to Scott Co Illinois. Thomas died there 1833, leaving Margaret a widow. Lucinda lived a long time. So Thomas is still there in 1830 census also younger William Cain and a Rhoda Cain.
Also in Surry in 1800 was a Russell Cain and a Tice(Mathias) Cain.
In CC Ky 1810 is also a Ben(Benjamin) Cain, he md Rebekah Stanfield, Hanna Stanfield sister. They are only in CC Ky in 1810, they had 2 males 0-10, 1 male 10-16, 1 male 16-26 and one 45+, s females 0-10 and 2 10-16 and 1 45+.
A Benjamin Cain can be found in Warren Co Tn in 1820, he has 2 males 0-10, 1 16-18 and 1 45+, females 1 10-16, 1 16-26, 1 26-45 and 1 45+.
Also there is a John Cain who has 1 male 0-10, 1 18-26 and 1 26-45 and 1 female 10-16. I have found where he came there about 1815 and was in Tombstone and Bible records as being the son of William and Hannah Cain, he md Beersheba Porter Sullivan, John died in 1830's.
Robert B Cain is there 1850 census, he is reported to be son of William and Hannah Cain b 1808 Ky. He md first Mary Lawrence 1831 in Davidson Tn, she the dau of William Pitt Lawrence and Nancy Pomeroy. She died by 1836 and he md Tebitha C unknown. Robert died in McMinnville Tn 1889. Robert's dau Mary md James Camp, she was his second wife as had md Laura A Cain first she died and he md Mary. Laura was the dau of John and Beersheeba Cain.
So it looks as if Benjamin left CC Ky after 1810 and went to Warren Co Tn and Williams' possible sons Robert B and John went too. Since William's remaining children went to Scott Illinois after 1830, this appears to take this entire migration of Cains out of CC KY before 1840. The only questions remaining then are who is the Rhoda Cain in 1820 CC Ky, she has 3 males 0-10, 1 10-16 and 2 females 0-10,1 16-26 and 1 26-45. She is not there in 1830. I found this Mathias Cain md Rhoda Goodman( daughter of Ba(r)tlett Goodman) 1794 in Bedford Virginia, I do not know if this is the same Mathias in 1800 surry NC or the same Rhoda in 1820 CC Ky, but is worth looking into.
In addition in 1840 Scott Illinois is a Bartlett Cain who came there from McMinnville Tn about 1833, he had sons William Bartlett and Benjamin C Cain. He went on to Wisconsin after 1850.
I will continue this message on another message as I seem to be trying to get kicked off.
Smiles,
Nancy

Miss Cain's issue fore-names do not seem to offer any clues to her ancestry, however her grand-childrens' names do suggest interest, i.e., 'Gideon, Wesley'. If you run across these Christian-names is your research, please do inform me.
Again, many thanks...David Hennessee

Dear David,
Thank you for the information you sent. There are some very interesting things there that I have not previously seen. I have just recently found my Cain family in Warren county, TN.
I have found a few things. First of all, let me tell you what I do know, or believe to be true about my Cains. The James Cain in Warren Co, TN I am quite sure is mine (actually my husband's). The reason is that in the 1830 census he is living next door to Owen Kersey. Owen Kersey is married to James' daughter Ruth. They are also together on the 1840 census of Marion Co, TN, at least living near, and also on the 1850 census of Ozark Co, MO. I did not find them on the 1840 until just recently because the name is spelled KAIN. On the 1850 it is spelled KEAN.
On the 1820 I only found James Cain and John Cain in Warren Co. I have not looked through it thoroughly. I have thought they were probably related. Perhaps brothers, but possibly father and son. The 1850 census indicates that James was born about 1781, but the 1820 says he was 45 +, indicating it would be 1775 or earlier. The 1830 says he was 50-60, indication 1770-1780. The 1840 says 60-70.
I don't know where you saw my information. But since seeing these earlier censuses in Warren co, TN, I now believe he had several more children than I have previously known about. On the 1820, he has 3 boys and 5 girls, assuming all of the children there are his. On the 1830, he has 6 boys and 4 girls. On the 1840, he has 1 boy and 3 girls.
What I am getting at is that your Abigail or Miss Cain or Elizabeth could easily be one of James Cain's daughters. It is possible that John could also be his son. Although the birthdate for James would have to be a little before 1780.
Now there is William Cain and Hannah Stanfield [10 Aug 2010 - FamilySearch.org:http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=ancestorsearchresults.asp] . I don't know how to figure them in with my James Cain and the others. Are they related or not? So far I can't tell. I know my James Cain was born in NC, but there are a lot of Cains in NC, particularly in Orange and Bladen cos, and as you mentioned, Surry. So I haven't figured out where my James came from.
Here is a question. Is it possible that the Warrem Co, TN property where the Cains lived is the same place in the Sequatchie Co that was later in Marion Co, and now in Sequatchie Co? Probably not, but I know there were a lot of boundary changes and new counties created. Probably someone who knows a lot about Warren co, history would know that.
On the Warren co usgenweb site www.tngenweb.org/warren/ I found a Goodspeed, History of Tennessee, Warren County excerpt. It mentions that "Among those who secured grants from North Carolina calling for lands in Warren County were... ...James Kane..." He was the only Kane/Cain/Kain mentioned. It also mentioned later that he was in the Fifth District.
I have wondered when he actually went to Warren Co from NC. Your data indicates that George W. Cain, one of James' sons, was born in Warren co in 1809. I think the county was created in 1807.
I have corresponded with several Cain cousins in the past, and have not really kept the correspondences all together. I think I will try to get all the people together so we can share information. I have been invited to a STONE family reunion in June is Sequatchie County where James CAIN settled and where 2 of his children married children of William STONE. So I think some of the people there will also be Cain descendants. My husband and I plan to attend, and also spend some time researching in that area, as well as Marion Co, Arkansas, and Ozark Co, MO, where our Cains lived later. My husband's mother is Hester Clara CAIN Gausnell, age 92, and she was born in Marion Co, AR. We will probably go there first, and then to TN. Before then I would like to try to get a bunch more research done and make contact with more Cain relatives.
Thank you again for this information, and let's keep in touch.

Hi All,
I have found some more info that may help some of us figure out our Cains in Cumberland CO KY.
William Cain md Hannah Stanfield in 1790's in Surry NC, in 1800 census he had 1 male 0-10 2 males 26-45 , 1 female 0-10 and 1 female 26-45, this in Surry. In 1810 Cumberland Census he had 1 male 0-10, 2 males 16-26 and he was over 45, he had 1 female 0-10 and 1 26-45. So at this point he had 3 males in house and 1 daughter,
in 1815 Lucinda Cain md Joel Claywell,
in 1823 Thomas Cain md Margaret Claywell(siblings).
These 2 families left Cumberland after 1830 and went to Scott Co Illinois. Thomas died there 1833, leaving Margaret a widow. Lucinda lived a long time. So Thomas is still there in 1830 census also younger William Cain and a Rhoda Cain.
Also in Surry in 1800 was a Russell Cain and a Tice(Mathias) Cain.
In CC Ky 1810 is also a Ben(Benjamin) Cain, he md Rebekah Stanfield, Hanna Stanfield sister. They are only in CC Ky in 1810, they had 2 males 0-10, 1 male 10-16, 1 male 16-26 and one 45+, s females 0-10 and 2 10-16 and 1 45+.
A Benjamin Cain can be found in Warren Co Tn in 1820, he has 2 males 0-10, 1 16-18 and 1 45+, females 1 10-16, 1 16-26, 1 26-45 and 1 45+.
Also there is a John Cain who has 1 male 0-10, 1 18-26 and 1 26-45 and 1 female 10-16. I have found where he came there about 1815 and was in Tombstone and Bible records as being the son of William and Hannah Cain, he md Beersheba Porter Sullivan, John died in 1830's.
Robert B Cain is there 1850 census, he is reported to be son of William and Hannah Cain b 1808 Ky. He md first Mary Lawrence 1831 in Davidson Tn, she the dau of William Pitt Lawrence and Nancy Pomeroy. She died by 1836 and he md Tebitha C unknown. Robert died in McMinnville Tn 1889. Robert's dau Mary md James Camp, she was his second wife as had md Laura A Cain first she died and he md Mary. Laura was the dau of John and Beersheeba Cain.
So it looks as if Benjamin left CC Ky after 1810 and went to Warren Co Tn and Williams' possible sons Robert B and John went too. Since William's remaining children went to Scott Illinois after 1830, this appears to take this entire migration of Cains out of CC KY before 1840. The only questions remaining then are who is the Rhoda Cain in 1820 CC Ky, she has 3 males 0-10, 1 10-16 and 2 females 0-10,1 16-26 and 1 26-45. She is not there in 1830. I found this Mathias Cain md Rhoda Goodman( daughter of Ba(r)tlett Goodman) 1794 in Bedford Virginia, I do not know if this is the same Mathias in 1800 surry NC or the same Rhoda in 1820 CC Ky, but is worth looking into.
In addition in 1840 Scott Illinois is a Bartlett Cain who came there from McMinnville Tn about 1833, he had sons William Bartlett and Benjamin C Cain. He went on to Wisconsin after 1850.
I will continue this message on another message as I seem to be trying to get kicked off.
Smiles,
Nancy

_____
"1830 Census - Middle Tennessee", Byron Sistler, 1971, p. 169:
Henisee, Abigail S.
12002-1101"
Conjecture: That Abigail could be Thomas' first wife, Miss Cain. Note that the ages & genders correlate with Thomas' children with his first wife.
Note: Christian name, "Abigail", does not appear in any subsequent progeny; more likely her name is "Rebecca Abigail/Abigail Rebecca"...DAH
Rebecca Ann Hennessee, m. Henry Yeager, second male child named, Wesley CAIN Yeager...could this be a clue to Miss Cain's father? One usually reads "John Wesley", often called "Wesley". Read further notes re CAIN...DAH
