Am also researching John Cain and Annah Barrows, but James Cain, who had a brother named
Oliver, b. 11/17/1792 in Taunton. I've also seen Oliver's dob as 11/27/1792 in
Taunton Vital Records. All the children of John Cain and Annah Barrows were born in
Taunton, MA. The other siblings were Lydia, b. 7/10/1787; Moses, b. 3/30/1795; John Jr.,
b. 5/24/1790; and James, b. 10/12/1802.
John Cain, b. 1760 (? Taunton) - no records confirmed but date of 1760 is on his
gravestone up in Savoy, MA - I have personally seen that. Died 3/31/1833 in Savoy, MA
Annah Barrows, b. around 1765 (? Middleboro) and died 4/14/1847 and buried in Savoy, MA.
John and Annah were married 5/4/1786 in Taunton, MA She was listed as from Middleboro,
MA.
I've been trying to establish who John Cain (Sr)'s parents were. I'm
wondering if he is the first generation in this country but cannot find anything listing
his parentage so far.
I also have been wondering what happened to Oliver or where he ever ended up. I've
seen only his birth recorded in the Taunton Vital Records, and there was never any proof
that he ever went up to Savoy, MA (northwestern part of Mass. near No. Adams).
I'd be interested in hearing from you. Linda Cain
