I don't know. We can go back as far as William B(?) Cain, born about 1805 in NC.
This family has been difficult to trace, to say the least. William was in Coffee Co, AL
in the 1830's. He and his wife died in a house fire around 1870. In 1880, Daniel Green
Cain packed up his family and moved to Smith County, MS and returned to AL in 1882,
leaving one son (Joseph Daniel Cain, b. 1859) behind because he had married and wanted to
remain in Ms.
The naming patterns of this family seem to fit with the William Cain and Olive Reagen
(sp?) family of Bladen Co, NC, but I could be very wrong. My e-mail is
