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.
