Thank you for the reply Frank. No, my Patrick Cain is one of at least three
or four Patrick Cain's born around the same time and moving around the U.S.
I call the three most documented Patrick's the following:
Patrick Cain of Abbeyville SC and Livingston KY b Sep 25 1741.
Patrick Cain of Augusta Co VA, and Orangeburgh SC b abt 1712.
Patrick Cain of Grayson Co KY and County Galway Ireland, b abt 1765.
The fourth is a son of the Augusta Co VA Patrick, who lived in Barnwell SC
and died in the war in 1780.
- I do not know which on married Susan Crawford if it wasn't the Augusta Co
Patrick - you are right, there is a lot of research out there that says that
he did.
- One of the Patrick's arrived in the U.S. in 1751 on the ship Tyral - that
is documented. I know this wasn't mine as he wasn't born yet. One
researcher said this Patrick Cain owned a tavern in MD and most of his
descendents migrated to the Carolinas.
- Your Augusta VA Co Patrick is the second one of course.
- I believe the first one died in Livingston Co KY 26 Nov 1836 from what I
have seen, but I did not research either the first or second, as it became
clear they were not mine. I show him married to a Molly.
- There is a Patrick Cain in New Jersey in the 1773 colonial census - do not
know which one this is.
- There is a Patrick Cain, indentured servent, who arrives in the 1770's in
Philadelphia and escapes his indentureship at abt age 13 on the eve of the
war (news ads looking for him posted by his "owner". I believe this one
could be mine, who shows up in Grayson County Ky from 1790 - 1840. He may
have been in the Rev War as well in the area of Philadelphia. My Patrick is
married to a Maranda when in Kentucky, but was old enough to have married
more than once.
- Based on the Cain DNA website testing, I am grouped quite clearly with
some who have roots back to north County Galway. There are also 8 or so
other very clear groups that trace to other parts of the British Isles,
primarily Ireland.
- I am curious if you have identified another Patrick Cain, married to
Susannah Crawford, or is that the first one in my list?

I am a fan of the testing, as I had hit my brick wall with Patrick
Cain b
1765, died in Kentucky. Could not find him anywhere at > all prior to
1790.
Now I know he was born in Ireland, and most likely where, and have some
distant connections in Australia > that are also descended from his
ancestors.
We are searching together now for his family in County Galway.
Good look to you in your search

Hello Candy,
Your Patrick Cain, I am almost positive, was living in Ninety-Six District,
SC in the Abbeville, SC area when the American Revolution started. He
married one Susan or Susannah Crawford in Abbeville, Ninety-Six District,
SC. Susan
died in 1830 and is buried in a cemetery in the Abbeville, SC vicinity.
After her death, Patrick and their sons packed up and left South Carolina,
first
going to Kentucky and later on, into Louisiana.
The reason that I am so familiar with your Patrick Cain is that my mother,
in 1936, located your Patrick and thought he was her ancestor, Patrick
Cain, a
Patriot in the American Revolution, who was murdered by Tories in 1781 in
Barnwell District, SC. It turned out that her Patrick was born on the Isle
of
Man in 1737 and came to this country in the Fall of 1747 to the Scots-Irish
Settlement in Augusta Co., VA with his father, younger sister, Ealee
(Alice,
b. 1746) and possibly other children. I have located the marriage record
of
her Patrick Cain in Ballaugh Parish, Isle of Man. His wife was named
Ellinor Clarke and they were married in February 1737 in KK Michael Parish,
IoM,
son Patrick was born the following June, 1737. He was the survivor of
twins
born to Ann Corliss Cain, wife of Adam Cain of Ballaugh Parish. Her
Patrick
Cain was old enough to be your Patrick's father!
I hope my information will be helpful to you as my mother's honest mistake
back in the dark ages of genealogy research in 1936 has been widely
published
by others who blindly followed her mistake. I have finally, after three
quarters of a century, proven her error beyond question, but many
"hardcases"
still refuse to accept my proof. They are probably too "bull headed" to
admit
that they were derelict in verifying their own research without checking
the
accuracy of copied data from another person's research. Although, to be
fair,
back in the 1930s and even up to the computer age, genealogical research
was very dependent on the accuracy of old records. Thank goodness for this
enlightened age! My data came straight from Official Parish Records which
were
microfilmed by the Mormons. These data are readily available at local
Family
History Centers. My local center ordered this film for me.
