Hi list & Merry Christmas, I hope someone can help me. According to 1880 Nicholas
Co., KY census, John Cain was b. in 1850 in NY, and lists his father and mother as both
being from Ireland. I don't know his father or mother's name, or if he had any
siblings.
On the 1880 census he is listed as 30 years old - a laborer -with wife Lucy (?) who is
born in KY and 35 years old. Daughters are Mattie aged 7, Florence aged 3, Georgie aged 1
and another Cain daughter aged 1 month (no first name is given for her).
I believe Lucy's maiden name is Hawes or Howes (taken from daughter Florence's
social security application - but was very hard to read).
Anyone with any info on this family will be most appreciated. Thank you and warmest
regards.
