It's confusing and I am not convinced that John Cain's father was Abijah. I find a John Cain in the 1850 Fountain County, Cain Township, Indiana. He is 63 years old and a farmer. his wife is listed as Elvira , 41 years of age. Children are Kesiah 16, Merica 10, George 8, Mary 4 and Martha 1. To make things more interesting I find a John Cain in the 1850 Green County, Wisconsin who is 52 and a chairmaker from South Carolina, wife is Roselinda 39. Children are William 18 born in indiana, Abigen 16 born in indiana, George W. 13 born in indiana, Martha 11 born in Wisconsin, charles 8 born in Wisconsin, Rachael E. 5 born in Wisconsin, Mary M. 3 born in wisonsin and a Nelson Cain 26 occupation is Potter and he was born in indiana. There is an Indiana marriage record for John Cain...spouse's name is Roselinda Lorbes (I have seen other records that list her last name as Forbes). They were married in Montgomery County on 4/6/1830....It is my understanding that John came from !
South Carolina, then to Ohio, then to Wayne County, Indiana, on to Fountain County, Indiana, on to Green County, Wisconsin and then to Elgin, Fayette County, Iowa. He died in Arkansas in 1877 with his will being probabed in Iowa.
If you can shed some light on this, I certainly would be grateful. There are a number of Jonathan's and John's in the cain family and just where they fit in is somewhat of a puzzle.
Thanks
