Looking for information about a Thomas Cain, born 1805 in Ireland. I am not sure when he
came to the US but he is listed in the 1870 US census - Kentucky living with an Elizabet
Watson and five children (John, Harvey and Ellen Crabtree and Mary and James Cain) Thomas
and Elizabeth had four children (Mary A dob 1868, James dob 1869, Lear Bell dob 1875 and
William dob 1879). All the children went by the name Crabtree. in the 1870 census, Thomas
is listed as an iron ore minor and Elizabeth is listed as a housekeeper. I have little
information on him before this date, and only know from unsourced information that he died
around 1880.
Any other information on him would be greatly appreciated! His daughter Lear Bell was my
gggrandmother.
Thanks!!
