Thank you. This Thomas Cain was married to Sarah F. Wilson in 1854 in Ritchie County, VA
(WV). I have two sources for that date. It is listed on the
wvculture.org site with a
picture of the page. I also saw a transciption of the marriage book, years ago, on the
Ritchie County Gen. site. Someday I hope to get to Ritchie Co. to see it. Both state
they were born in Ohio. Her brother, William, my g-grandfather was born in Columbiana Co.
Ohio. His parents are listed as Jno and Nancy Cain. I do not find a Thomas with them on
any census forms or any trees on
ancestry.com. I know those are only clues to hopfully
solve the mystery, but they have not been productive. Jno, I think, stands for John.
There is a John Cain and a Nancy Hickman living in Ritchie Co. but have no son by the name
Thomas. So, my next guess is - he was living in another household before he married or he
was not enumerated (1850 census) with the name Thomas (if he is their son).
