I, along with a fellow cousin are researching Bartlett Cain and his family. Bartlett was
born around 1800 in Virginia from best we can tell. My cousin has him being the son of
James Matthias Cain. We know he went to Tennessee for a time, buying some land there
around 1830. By 1835 he is in Morgan/Scott County, Illinois. He is still there in 1840,
but by 1850, his family is in Wisconsin without him. Every time we find him, he seems to
be in the same place as some other Cain families who have ties in with the Goodpasture and
Masters families, but we haven't made a link there. We also have him somewhat related
to the Claywell family by what my cousin has as his half sister. Our Bartlett married a
woman named Lydia (might be Lucinda) who was born in either North or South Carolina as
both places have been used as her place of birth. She was born around 1802. Any
information on this whole family from these regions would be appreciated as we've hit
brick walls. We would be glad to !
share our info in return.
