Hope you haven't given up all hope about your Cains as I know that I can help you out.
My maternal grandmother was a Cain from the Blackville area of Barnwell Co, SC. Her
grandfather was John Cain. He was maried twice, first to Sarah Lott by whom he had a
number of children and second to Sarah Blume, my grandmother's namesake.
Your Nathaniel Cain was John's son by Sarah Lott. John's father was named Patrick
Cain, Jr and he was killed in 1781 by Tories who ambushed and slaughtered his band of
Patriots on the banks of the South Edisto River near Healing Springs.
Patrick, Sr was from the Isle of Man and I have traced his ancestry back to 1600.
I will be more than glad to help you with your research if you are still working on this
line.
