Message Board Post:
I have a dead end that I hope someone can help me with. John Cain left a will in 1755 in
Edgecombe County (proven 1757), in which he names his wife Sarah (Hodges) and children
Jonathan, Abijah, Zipporah, and Jerusha. Jerusha was my 6g grandmother who married a
Needham Bryan.
While there were definitely other Cains in the area, I have been unable either to identify
who John's father was or what happened to the other siblings. None of them left a
paper trail that I have been able to find online.
They share some of these unusual given names with another family of Cains that originated
in SC, but I do not know what the connection may be. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.
