Hello Linda,
I saw your posting about the Daniel Cain line who married Susanna Custer. I'm afraid that the information that was given to the DAR is incorrect. Through DNA testing we have been able to prove that the Daniel Cain line that was in Greene County, Ohio is the same Daniel Cain from North Carolina. My line is through Nicholas Cain in VA. Daniel was his son and they moved into what is now WV. But no actual records can be found where they moved to when they left Harrison County, VA. Another lady that I have corresponded with for several years, had her cousin do a DNA test and it was compared to my uncle's and there is NO close match at all. According to the test results we have not been related in the last 800 years. The lady who submitted this information was Mrs. Idell Snodgrass, but I'm afraid that it wasn't documented well enough. She is gone now, but the information is still floating around out there. If you would like to contact me personally, I can put you in !
touch with the lady who has the documentation that shows the Daniel Cain in Greene County Ohio was actually from Guilford County, NC. My email address is: sjcainevans(a)hotmail.co.
Regards,
Shirley

Hello Ken,
Sorry I've not gotten back with you sooner. It's been a little hectic around here. My Cain family is through the Nicholas Cain line in the Shenandoah Valley whose children migrated West from there. In the Ohio Valley of what is now WV, there were at least 3 different Cain lines. You mentioned a Walter Cain who married Elizabeth Wilson. There is a Richard Cain who married an Elizabeth Martin who lived in Monongahalia County, VA in the late 1700's & early 1800's. I have a great deal of info on this line. There was also a Walter Cain line that lived in Brooke County, VA & Jefferson County, OH. They are across the Ohio River from one another. I have some information about them too. Can you tell me a little more about your Walter Cain? There are several Walter Cain's in that area. I think this line may have come from NJ. Because there is a large Cain gathering there in the late 1600's and early 1700's.

My ggg-grandmother was Margaret Ann Cain born in 1818 in VA. I have not been able to find who her parents were. She married George Parker Melson before 1840, as I found them in the following censuses:
1840 cen: MELSON, Parker (head) 1m<5; 2m 5-10; 1m 30-40; 1f 5-10; 1f 10-15; 1f 20-30; 1f 50-60. Elizabeth City Co., VA.
1850 cen, Aug. 19: MELSON, Parker age 46, occ: none; Margaret Ann age 32; Mary Ann age 10; Geo. Thomas age 6; Sarah Eliz. age 3; Wm. P. age 4/12; BANKS, Catherine age 17. All born VA. Hampton, Elizabeth City Co., VA.
1860 cen Jun 18: MELSON, George P. age 57, Oysterman, Prop. value $100; Margaret A. age 41; George T. age 16; Sarah J. age 13; Willliam P. age 10; Margaret M. age 3; Elizabeth age 1. All born VA. Dwelling 184, Hampton, Elizabeth City Co., VA.
Their daughter, Sarah Jane Cornelia Melson (born March 1846 in Elizabeth City Co. and died Sep 6, 1909 in Norfolk, VA), was my gg-grandmother. She married John W. DeHart in 1869. Their children were born in Bruton Twp., York Co., VA.
Do you have Margaret on your trees?
Could she be a sister of Thomas J. Cain?
Odd that the name "Cornelia " shows up in the names of both of their children?

Dear Ken,
Sorry but I don't have your people on my tree. I follow Daniel Cain who fought in the Rev. War for North Carolina. He married Susannah Custer, she would become 2ed cousin to George Armstrong Custer. Susannah died in 1824 in Ohio and Daniel lived till 1851 at the ripe old age of 103. There are an awful lot of Cain's that is for sure. The only way I really sorted mine out from the others is the DAR. And the fact that a whole lot of the children that followed him to Ohio died in a Colora Epidemic. They buried a lot of them in mass graves but kept records in a Baptist church for who they buried. I do believe mine were Menonites though.
Linda
