Would like to locate parents and sibling of William Cain. Died before May
1818 probably in Franklin Co., MS., where his wife Nancy Cain remarried to
William Gray in May of 1818. Permission for Nancy Cain and William Gray was
granted by the Orphans Court.
I have searched for the Orphans Court records and probate records for
William Cain in Franklin Co., but did not find anything.
Family tradition states that William Cain originally settled in Wilkinson
Co., MS, from NC. A search of records in Wilkinson Co., MS., provided no
additional information on this man.
There were records in Wilkinson Co., pertaining to Hugh Cain and Allen Cain.
I have recently found a will for one William Cain in Orange Co., NC, that
shows heirs being William, Hugh and Allen Cain. Have been trying to obtain
a copy without any success.
Would appreciate any help that can be provided on any of the above.
