Hi Candy, Thanks for your email. Yes, I see many records that indicate William may have
come through Maryland, & Carolinas, then perhaps to Florida before Georgia, and for
many on to Texas. Some notes say "William (some say William T. or William T. Cain,
Sr.???)Cain born about 1876 came from Ireland, Galaway or Kellybegs Co., Donegal, Ireland.
Notes also say, "that there were 42 Cain's who came by ship over from
Ireland." I would guess he came with many relatives including brothers. Wish we
could find that ship name. Yes, my husband sent in his DNA to Cain DNA project and his
matched many Cains. I don't really understand how it works, but he has many matches
(12/12, 25/25/36/37) His name is John Donvie Cain if you have their information. Let me
know if there is a connection. Thank you and keep in touch. E.Cain
