I am at the point of trying to verify the relationships of our Cain line within the late
1700s and am hoping that someone can be of assistance. All of the information I have I
consider to be tentative. What I have follows:
Peter Kane/Cain "Sr" born 1723/7 in Germany/Scotland/Ireland; married Catherine
in 1747/50 in Germany Scotland?Ireland; immigrated to NC in 1764; died in Rowan Co., NC,
in 1791; will recorded 10 December 1791 and probated in 1794 in Rowan Co., NC.
Catherine born after 1727 or later; married in 1747/50; immigrated? to NC in 1764; died in
Rowan Co., NC after 1794.
My questions:
What record proves Peter's immigration date?
What is the proof that Peter Kane,naturalized on 22 March 1764, is the father of Peter
Cain who died in Knox Co., KY, in 1814 and who was the father of Daniel Cain?
Do you have the reference to or do you have the will of Peter Kane "Sr."?
Is there a record of the marriage of Peter Kane "Sr" and Catherine?
Where were Peter Kane "Sr" and Catherine buried? Are their graves still extant?
Are there any confirmed dates of birth for any of Peter and Catherine Kane
"Sr"'s children?
