Nancy, I have just begun researching my gggggrandparents, but they were Olive Cain and
John Mathis of Richmond, NC. Their daughter Sarah is my line. I think Olive was the
daughter of Hicks Cain. There were several Olive Cains at that time and area. In the
Estate documents she is referred to as Delilah. Her full name was Olive Delilah. There is
also a document by Hicks stating Delilah, wife of John is his daughter. The problem I have
run into is John Mathis Sr is also listed as married to a Olive. To add to the mix, there
is a William Cain married to Olive Regan and they had a daughter named Olive. If you have
any clarifing info on this, I would appreciate it.
