John M. Cain was born, possibly in NC, 5 December 1779, and died in Gwinnett Co. Ga , 8 February 1875, according to tombstone in Mt. Moriah Bapt. Church Cemetery, Cain's district, Gwinnett Co. He is buried beside his second wife, Edna Poole, b. July 1783, SC and died 26 Aug. 1856, Gwinnett Co. Ga. Edna was the daughter of Adam Poole, Sr. and Esther Manning. John's first wife was Harriet Malinda Pritchard or Prickett of Pendleton Dist, SC where they married abt 1804, according to a family record. The Pendleton Messenger, a newspaper, issue of 8 March 1823, p. 5, says she died on 25 Feb, 1823, leaving her husband, Mr. John Cain of this district, and seven children.She was called Milly Cain in this article, and says she was 35 years of age. John and Edna went to Gwinnett Co. about 1830. The Poole family married into this Cain family three times, and many of the Pooles also went to Gwinnett Co. Ga about the same time. Johm M. Cain is found in 1810, 1820, Pendleton census. I would like any data anyone might find on him prior to this period. I descend thru his son, James J. Cain, b. 1812, who married Esther (Easter) Skelton, in 1829, Anderson Co. SC. James came to Gwinnett Co. also by 1840 census. Thelma F. Cain Prince

Hello, Frank and Cain-list: I found the following family listed by Ruby
McNeil Simonson in her newsletter: PATRICK CAIN, b. 1741 IRELAND, and d.
Abbeville Dist. SC. He was the father of PATRICK CAIN, SR. b. 1762 Ireland,
d. 1805, Abbeville dist. SC. He served in the American Revolution; married
1782, Abbeville Dist. SC to SUSANNAH CRAWFORD who d. 1820, Abbeville Dist SC.
Their son was PATRICK CAIN, JR, b. 25 May 1785, Abbeville Dist. SC;farmer;
d. 27 Aug. 1838 Vaiden, Carroll Co. MS, buried Vaiden Cemetery. In Tuscaloosa
Co. Al in 1816, he m. Mary Hubbard b. 20 Sept. 1798 and d. 22 May 1859,
Vaiden, MS, buried Vaiden Cemetery. this information was sumitted by Clara
Wright Wallace, P.O. Box35, University, MS. in March 1985.
I'm sorry, Frank, I don't know anything about my John in NC for sure. All I
know is the censuses say he was b. in NC, and family tradition says it was
Rutherford Co. He was b. 1779. Supposed to have gone to Virginia at age 2
with his family and then to Greenville SC at age 12, and married in Pendleton
in 1804 to Harriet Malinda Pritchard or Prickett. He was found in the 1810
and 1820 Pendleton District SC Census, and in Gwinnett Co. Ga. in1830 until
he died. If you will let me know more about the family you are asking about,
I will welcome the information. Thelma F. Prince
===========================================================
Hi, Thelma,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I was so in hope that you would be sending me
good news about my PATRICK CAIN. Alas, it was not to be!!
You did either clear up a mistake my mother made about 60 years ago when she
compiled her CAIN ancestors or you have possibly inadventantly opened a can
of worms. I refer specifically to SUSANNAH CRAWFORD, who married PATRICK
CAIN, SR. in Abbeville Dist., SC. My mother also claimed her as the wife of
HER PATRICK CAIN, SR. who was a District (Co.) Surveyor for Orangeburgh
Dist., SC around 1775 and who was elected as District Representative to the
First SC Congress in 1779. She had no information on SUSANNAH other than her
name, so I have no idea where she came up with the information in the first
place. My mother has been gone since 1945 so that question will be forever
unanswered. To add to the confuson, old Patrick, Sr. also had a son, PATRICK,
JR. who was in the Revolution. This Patrick, Jr was not so lucky. He got
massacred by Tories in August, 1781. Fortunately, he had a son, JOHN, who
carried on the name.
Where do you suppose Ruby McNeil Simonson got her information on the
Abbeville, SC Cains. I would certainly like to make contact with her so that
together we might "sort out the pieces" and get these two families
straightened out. The truth is out there somewhere. Please send me her
address, if you have it.
As to the family of "my" Patrick. Reputedly, he was born abt 1715 (place of
birth unknown), married SUSANNAH CRAWFORD abt. 1733 and had four children
that we know of, namely, MARGARET (b: ??), PATRICK, JR. (b: abt. 1735), JOHN
(b: abt 1740) and a daughter, ALCE (b: abt 1744), who married NATHANIEL
WALKER, JR. in 1762, some place in North Carolina. PATRICK, SR. died in
Barnwell Dist., SC some time after 1781 and before the 1790 SC Census.
Extant records state that Alce and Nathaniel were married in Barnwell Co, SC
but that information is in error. I have placed this Walker family, including
Nathanael Walker, Sr., in Mecklenburgh Co, NC as early as 1766 and wondered
how these two people ever got together, in the first place. Patrick Cain, Sr
was District Surveyor for near by Craven Co., SC (now Lancaster Co, SC) at
about this same time. Nathanael Walker, Sr. was also a surveyor, so he and
Patrick must have known each other professionally and possibly travelled in
the same surveying party. I imagine in those days surveyors took their entire
family with them as they moved about, literally carving our civilization out
of the wilderness.
But where did they come from??? Family legend says that Nathanael Walker
came to Philadelphia from England as a young man and travelled south, finally
stopping in SC where he made his home. Patrick Cain possibly joined him at
some point in time. The Cain and Walker families remained extremely close
for several generations. In fact, my grandmother, a direct descendant of
Patrick Cain, Jr. married my grandfather, an indirect descendant of Alce
Cain, sister of Patrick. They were about fourth cousins, if I have tallied my
generations correctly.
I believe "my" Patrick was somehow related to the Abbeville Patrick. How, I
don't know!! If only those old folks had given their children middle names,
it would have made our searches a little easier. But look at the fun we would
have missed!! >:-)
I hope this long message will possibly shed some light on some of the
problems with which we are faced and that someone out there on the List may
have some knowledge about these, our somewhat ancient roots, and give us some
badly needed assistance.

Cain Researchers,
In order to stimulate a little traffic and maybe begin some crosstalk, I
thought I would throw this out and see what you all thought:
1. Each person submit their CAIN query to the list.
2. I would take these queries and post them on my (barely developed)
home page at rootsweb along with an index of "inlaw" surnames. It would
look something like the queries and surnames on the Amite county
MSGenWeb page where the surnames would be an index to the queries. Each
query could include the submitters name and address (optional), email
address and home page if applicable.
Due to somewhat limited space, the queries would have to be kept to a
paragraph or two, maybe half page at most and have a definite CAIN
connection.
Any comments or suggestions?

By JOAN ROSE
As one-stop shopping at the Mall has simplified buying habits, founders
of a new national genealogical organization are hoping to do likewise
with integrated research sites on the internet for American root
tracers.
Traditionally, American genealogists have had to rely on a paper trail
in
often distant libraries, musty courthouse basements and weed grown
cemeteries to lead to their elusive ancestors. Only recently, in the
last
five years, have they turned to the Internet to find information that
others have written into cyberspace for them. Internet resources have
been multiplying rapidly in the past two years, but available
information
is often sketchy, always scattered and frequently without the
documentation so dear to the earnest researchers heart.
The United States Internet Genealogical Society in May was incorporated
as a non-profit corporation under the laws of California with four major
goals and lots of little ones. USIGS, as it will be known on the Net,
not only will seek out, index and point to all kinds of research data
for
free public access online, but it will seek out funding grants and
contributions to help defray the costs of puting it there.
"The Internet will be the Genealogical Research Library of the 21st
Century," believes James Streeter, USIGS president and a descendant of
the Mayflower, who has been working on his family history for 35 years
to
include 6500 individuals in 50 generations.
"USIGS brings a new concept to the genealogy community," he explained,
inasmuch as "it is dedicated to provide FREE online access to records of
interest to the entire genealogy community."
To this end, USIGS will encourage volunteers, both individuals and
groups, to transcribe their records to websites, it will correlate all
such information now online and that which is to come, and it will raise
funds to pay for costs incurred in such mammoth projects as eventually
putting online U.S. Census records, a long-time dream of many
internetters.
USIGS is not unlike an international organization, IIGS, which came into
being at the same time about two months ago, and with some overlapping
founders. The two will not compete, but will complement each other and
work together in some fields for the benefit of genealogists. USIGS,
however, will concern itself with American records, primarily of the
United States, while IIGS will be open for world-wide research.
Unlike IIGS, USIGS has a tightly structured executive branch, including
a
12-member board of directors, a staff of officers who will oversee all
projects and fund-raising activities and appointed committees with
definitely-delineated duties and missions.
Besides Streeter, of Buena Park, Calif., newly-elected officers include:
Tom Ward of Columbus, Kans., vice president; Linda Lewis of Rancho
Cucamonga, Calif., secretary; and Jerry E. Dill of Emmett, Idaho,
treasurer.
Board members are Don E. Dale of Kansas, David M. Leininger of
Mahomet,
Ill.,
and Billie McNamara of Knoxville, Tenn. , who are now holding one year
terms; Donald
L. Spidell of Safford, Ariz., Ken Hollingsworth of Redlands, Calif.,
John Rigdon of South Carolina, and Larry V. Stephens of Bloomington,
Ind. ,
now holding
two year terms; and Nancy Trice of Hopkins County, KY, Pat Smith of
Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, and John G. West of Evansville, Ind.,
who are now holding three year terms.
Vacancies are now being filled by appointment as worthy Web Genealogists
volunteer for membership.
USIGS has set up a web site at:
http://www.dsenter.com/usigs/
and is providing ongoing membership information to those who subscribe
to
its members list. Committees already formed and chairmen are listed.
?volunteers are needed to assist in all of them and in the various
projects
that are in process of getting started.
At this time membership is free, and all interested are encouraged to
sign on at the USIGS home page. Members will be asked to volunteer time,
talents, expertise and ideas as needed and to spread the word to their
local organizations and other online sites to assist USIGS in getting up
and running.
One of its main functions is to solicit grants from corporate
sponsorship
and other sources and through tax-deductible contributions. Streeter has
indicated that "announcement of a major source of funding may be
expected
soon." Any funds received will be distributed to individuals or
organizations for specific projects.
No priority list has been set up to receive first funds available, but
one major project identified by organizers has been the Census Project,
beginning perhaps with that of 1850, to put the entire census data,
state
by state and county by county, on line.
Streeter emphasized that all records funded by USIGS will be available
on
line free to anyone with internet access. USIGS was not set up to make
money, he stressed, but to find money to further transcription and
preservation of genealogical data at internet sites.
USIGS does not plan to duplicate work already in progress by other
online
groups, such as the USGenWeb project, he noted, but to coordinate that
work to make such data readily accessible. Streeter and other officers
and directors are associated with one or more of these other
organizations in top management and/or working positions.
Work will depend largely on local volunteers who will be able to access
various physical locations, transcribe or scan records and create a site
online to store and maintain it.
As envisioned, this is a program that will take many years to bring to
fruition, and probably never will be completed. But as more and more
research sources are transferred to the internet, more and more family
tree tracers will be able to pursue their hobby at home.

Hi, it's good to meet you, John. Thank you for starting a list for the
Cains. What you saw in the Dallas Public Library was a book, 484 pp. on
several of my lines, including the Cains which contains 25 pages on my
direct line. The name of it is OUR SOUTHERN ANCESTORS, Gateway Press,
1985, by Thelma Faye Cain Prince. It is out of print now, but available
by interlibrary loan or reading in the library in about 75 libraries
around the country, including Clayton in Houston, many places in
Georgia, Virginia, South Carolina, NC, etc. If anyone is interested, I
can tell you the nearest library to where you live. I have been working
on genealogy since about 1977, so I do have a lot of stuff which I can't
connect up to my Cains, and I'm willing to help anyone and share what I
have ammassed. John, I have quite a bit about your Cains from
corresponding with Earl Truitt. He was trying to find his William
Cain. Do you know him? Hope he is on the list too. I have seen your
information on your Cains in MS, and I don't know of any connection
yet. If I could get past where I am with John Manning Cain, I'd be so
happy.
