Greetings,
This is my first posting to this list. I am looking for the
family of Welthy O'Cain, the dgt. of William O'Cain and Joyce Ann
O'Brien. Welthy may have had a brother, Lawrence "Larry" O'Cain.
I believe Welthy was b. 1789. She is shown in the household of
Cannon Gibbs in the 1850 Marion Co., So. C. Census at age 60. But, it
does not show her Status...as wife, Mother, M-in-Law . There are four
children in the family ages 25, 23, 12, 18.
If Welthy is actually the wife of Cannon Gibbs, she is 15 years
his senior. Apparently her first husband was a Mr. Hyman with whom she
had 8 ch.. Was she also the mother of Gideon Thomas Gibbs who died in
the War Between the States???? Gideon was my husband's 2nd
Grt.Grdfather who married the daughter on Lawrence O'Cain !!!!! Could
be 1st cousins marrying!!
Looking forward to having some help here. I have further info on
descendants and glad to share.
