Message Board Post:
I have been trying to find these two people beyond their marriage. I really can't
find any evidence of Thomas being the son of Jno (?John) and Nancy (?Hickman) Cain, other
than the marriage certificate. There are several John Cain's married, with a wife
named Sarah. They could have moved anywhere. Judith, your John is married to Orpha
Beavers and Elizabeth Shinn. Did he have a son, named Thomas, with any of these wives?
Where did they live? It sounds like they moved to IO? Did they stay there or go back to
WV?
I noticed Jno being in a Virginia regiment during the Civil War. I may pursue this lead
and see where it leads me. If this is Thomas's father maybe Thomas was also in the
same regiment. Sarah's family was in the Union army and her brother died in
Andersonville.
Thank you for reading.
Pat
