Pam,
John Garland Cain is my 2G & 3G grandfather on my mother's side. She is the
daughter of Joe S. Cain and Dena Virgie Mae Cochran. My mother's paternal grandfather
was Van Calhoun Cain, son of John Garland Cain and Margaret Allis Conn. Her materal
grandparents were Willie Deborah Fortune and John Presley Cochran, who was the son of
James Rollistine Cochran and Mary Jane Cain, daughter of John Garland Cain and Margaret
Allis Conn. I have always heard the story that John Garland Cain was the son of Michael.
The Michael Cain who I can find any information about (the one married to Mary Harris) is
too old to be John Garland's father. Maybe he is his grandfather, but I can't find
anyone who could be his father. My husband and I have been to the South Carolina Archives
and to Abbeville, SC to do some research, but can't find anything on any Michael
except the one who married Mary Harris.
Please let me know if you have found this missing link.
Thanks,
Kerry Abels Henderson
