Message Board Post:
I have some notes written a number of years ago about letters to Mary Jane Cain. Mary
Jane Cain married Joseph Brisbine in 1850's in Yamhill OR. Mary Jane Cain would have
been a granddaughter of Mathias. Mathias's father was also named Mathias.
Although these are not hard cold facts hopefully they can help someone out there looking
for these people. At least give a starting place or help confirm another soft fact or
hunch.
The follow is EXACTLY how the notes are written:
