Regarding your message - I have a Patrick Cain, born abt.1760 - 1765, also from what may
be the same area of Ireland. It has been said that he may have come up from Ireland
through the Carolinas with his brothers to Kentucky, but have not been able to find any
proof. I have also seen what may be a young Patrick as an indentured in Philadelphia,
with possible time in Maryland as his wife was from Maryland. I know for certain he ended
up in Grayson Co Kentucky by sometime before 1810, possibly as early as 1790, and was
definitely born in Ireland, DNA has established that.
Have you ever done DNA testing? We have a group of Cains that have established the
connection to County Galway Ireland, and are searching for the year they came to the U.S.
I believe it was between 1775-1795, based upon possible timing of various times I have
found Patrick in the U.S. If you would consider the DNA testing, we may be able to
connect our lines, or you may find a totally different line in Ireland. All you need is a
male Cain descendent.
Patrick Cain b 1760-1765 Ireland --> William H. Cain b 03 July 1797 Grayson Co KY
--> Charles S. Cain b 26 Aug 1825 Grayson Co. KY --> Hardin Thomas Cain 16 Feb 1856
Spencer Co IN --> Charles L. Cain 29 Mar 1895 Spencer Co IN --> Richard Taylor Cain
