I am new to this list and am making a posting for the first time.
The CAIN that I am interested in is:
Rose CAIN born c1815, married Thomas Elliot c 1840
their known children:
William Elliot b 1844, Perth Ontario Canada
Thomas Elliot b 1846, Perth Ontario Canada
John Elliott b 1853, Darling Township (north of Perth) Ontario, Canada
Mary Elliott b circa 1856, probably in Darling Township, Ontario Canada
I have absolutely nothing on Rose CAIN and have been unable to track her down or where she
and Thomas Elliott were married. Thomas Elliott was born in Meath County, Ireland but I
suspect that Rose CAIN is descended from the CAINs who settled as British Loyalists on the
north side of the St. Lawrence River after the American Revolution in 1783. The most well
known of that family being Alonzo CAIN. In fact there is a little hamlet called Caintown
which was named after the CAIN family. In the time period, that is the only
concentration of CAINs that I can find in Upper Canada. If anyone on this list can
connect CAIN to Meath County Ireland, I am interested in knowing....
If anyone on this list has a Rose CAIN in their files I am interested in knowing about it.
Also interested in information on any CAIN family members in Canada. A home run would be
anyone who can connect the CAIN and Elliott families.
Thank you
