My traceable Cain was Daniel Cain who was in Guilford Co., NC, found in
deeds as early as 1784. I have proved him for the DAR as a Revolutionary
War soldier serving out of Guilford Co. Thanks, Dianne Cain Black

Cain was a pretty common name in Ireland and you are going to find a LOT of
Cains in the colonies and Revolution. My Cain family was here prior to the
Revolution and lived in the MD/NJ/PA area. The borders kept changing and so
even though they were in the same place, the colony or state changed from
time to time. Also know the spelling of Cain could change from year to
year. I have Keane, O'Keane, Cain, O'Cain, etc. I don't think your question
is answerable.
