John Henry Cain was my maternal grandfather............married Mollie Lite.....children of
that marriage were Garland, Clarence, Alford, Irene, and Delia...Delia was my mother. My
mother married Albert Edwards, and of that marriage were born Harold(died in infancy)
Virginia, William, Wanda, And Patricia. I have some other information that I have found,
and will email that to you. Maybe it will be of some help. I, just tonight found out
that my grandmother was Cherokee. My Uncle Alford told me that John Cain was Cherokee
also, and was apparently taken in by a white family in Cambria, Ill. that had no children,
and told him if he was stay with them, they would see that he was educated and help him
get started in life. My grandfather thanked them, but went on his way to find his
brother, who later died, and was buried on thebanks of the Mississippi River. I don't
know which brother this was. I, also do not know what had happened to his parents at that
point. Any inform!
ation you can share, would be so greatly appreciated.
