I have a Jemima Anna Cain b. May 16,1865, in or around Camden, Grant
Cty.
IN. Father was Jonathan and Mother was Mary Schmuck. Are your dates
correct
? I have no other info on her.

John, here are my sources for my Jamima Cain:
A photocopy of a hand-written note by whom I don't know, but it came with
photocopies of Jamima's daughter's family bible. It says:
Mrs. Jemima Scott Was Born July 13 in Tipacnao Co in 1831
Mrs Horner
Mother
Mrs Scott Died
February 3, 1925 aged 93 years, 6 months and a few days
Mrs. Horner was Lucy Ann Scott, Jamima's daughter.
I have verified the date of death with the Diggs Funeral Records. Jemima
Scott was the second person listed in the records at Jefferson Cemetery,
Grant County, Indiana. I have a photocopy of her obit, although it was
undated and I don't know which paper it was from.
I also have a marriage return for her daughter, Lucy Ann Scott, wherein it
is stated her mother's maiden name is Jamima Cain born in Indiana.
I have also received family group sheets from the Marion, Indiana Library on
the Scott family. On this they list Jamima Cain married Jesse Scott Oak
Ridge MM 1850. I have written to get that verified, but haven't heard back
yet.
Thanks,
Jolynne
