Your mention of Nancy Cain and her mother's name of Elizabeth caught my eye. My GG
Grandfather was Daniel S. Cain, born 1844 in Alabama. I don't have any information on
his parents, but he may have had a sister Nancy and one named Elizabeth and a brother
named Jasper. I'm wondering if your Nancy is the same as my Nancy. My Nancy was
born about 1842, Elizabeth (the sister) about 1835 and Jasper about 1846; all in Alabama
except Jasper who was born in Mississippi. They are all listed on the 1850 Mississippi
census for Attala County with their mother, listed only as E. No father listed. The
mother E was born about 1815 in Alabama as well. Any response welcome.
