Message Board Post:
I am looking for information about John Cain and his parents. I believe he is the son of
John A Cain, b. 1807, and Lucinda Green Jordan, b. 1811 South Carolina, d. 1887 Elmore
Alabama. After John's death in she married Benjamin Benson in 1847.
A history of Autauga says she and John were the parents of 3 children; John Archibald, b.
1832; George McDuffie b. 1834; Elisha M b. 1835.
The 1850 census lists her with Benjamin, Elisha 14, McDuffie 12, and Thomas, Edwin, and
Emma Benson, her children with Benjamin. John is not listed with the family, but he is
living next door with a Richard Nobles family, and his grandparents Elisha Cain and
Catherine Lewis Cain.
Any information would be appreciated.
