I have just returned from the Isle of Man & have good news & bad news for those
seeking the parents of Nicholas Cain of Albemarle County, Virginia. Some gedcoms have
Nicholas' parents listed as Daniel Cain & Margaret McBooy, but after 4 days of
intensive research on the Isle of Man, I have to say that this is not possible. I found
in the parish records index on page 7 a death of Nicholas Cain age 10 son of Daniel &
Margaret. He died May 26, 1724. This Daniel & Margaret had 8 children & only 4
lived to maturity & Nicholas wasn't one of them.
However, I did find 2 other Nicholas Cain's & have eliminated one of those who
married & lived in Kirk German. He died in 1732 & left a will naming his wife
& children. So that leaves one Nicholas Cain to account for. I will keep you posted
if I find anythng else about him worth reporting.
