Would appreciate help identifying any of the below:
Fort Fisher civil war roster: 14 Cain men from Bladen County. They are as
follows:
CAIN:
Beaman was wounded when Fort Fisher fell and later died of his wounds.
Beaman b. ca 1845 was son of Meredith & Mary Ann (Dew) Cain; grandson of
______________???
Calvin,
could be?? ... Calvin Musgrove Cain b. 1845 son of Peter & Sarah Ann (Jones)
Cain; grandson of Cornelius Cain
D. F.
(this is Doc Franklin), b. 1836 son of Amos & Hannah (Reeves) Cain; grandson
of James & Mary (Meeks) Cain
David R was a 2nd Lieutenant
.... not sure ... is this also a son of Amos & Hannah (Reeves) Cain; grandson
of James & Mary (Meeks) Cain???
Isaac,
b. 1834-35 son of Amos & Hannah (Reeves) Cain; grandson of James & Mary
(Meeks) Cain
Isham died of disease in Columbus Co
not sure ... the only Isham that I have record of is son of James & Mary
(Meeks) Cain but he was born about 1805 and is not the one. This could be a
sibling of Wiley as there are at least two unknown brothers in his family.
John A.,
unless he was only 8 or 9 yeas old, I have no idea who this is.
John J,
...... unknown parentage or age
John S.,
.... according to my notes, he is b. ca 1842 son of _______ & Mary E. (????)
Cain.
His siblings are assumed to be Harriet, Samuel, Ellen, Ann, Susan, James
H., Margaret Cain
Joshua died at Camp Elmira,
... b. ca 1843 son of John & Celia (Suggs) Cain; grandson of ____________???
Matthew,
....unknown
Robert B,
..could be Robert Bunyan Cain b. 1828 son of George W. & Elizabeth (McLain)
Cain; grandson of Wm & Rachel Cain.
Samuel R,
the only Sam R that I have was in Cumberland county in 1850, son of Joseph &
Sydney (Singletary) Cain.
Wiley
... born 1828, son of Wm & Catherine (Unknown) Cain; speculated that he is
grandson of James & Mary (Meeks) Cain ... i.e., Wiley's father Wm was one of
the unidentified sons of James & Mary.
Also, Marshall Pointer Cain is known to have been there but was discharged
for medical reasons. Whose son is he? Is this the Marshall Cain son of
Meredith & Mary Ann (Dew) Cain; grandson of ______________???
Also one Larkins Bedsole is on the same Ft Fisher roster.
