I am still searching for a New York Cain family. My ancestor, Elizabeth
Cain, was probably born in New York about 1775. She married William
Feagles, probably about 1796--they had seven children, all of whom were
born in New York State. Their seventh and youngest child, Sinia, was my
ancestor--she was born on December 21, 1815, at Sheldon, Wyoming County,
New York. She married Erastus Allen (son of Jude Allen and Phoebe Benson)
on January 1, 1835, at Java, Genesee (Wyoming) County, New York.
At least some of the family migrated to Branch County and Calhoun County,
Michigan. I have no death date for Elizabeth Cain Feagles, but William
died after 1850, as he is found in the Branch County census of 1850. The
Allens were early settlers in Calhoun County (the county directly north of
Branch County).
There must be someone out there who has New York Cains in their lineage. I
would like to establish parentage for Elizabeth.
Thank you.
