Your post on the Cain and Byram families is now almost 12 years old but I still want to
respond as I too, am a Cain. My gr gr grandmother Elizabeth Byram's name was spelled
several different ways, even with her own children, probably due to poor spelling of the
times, Bynum being one of the spellings. My dad had always told me our name had
originally been O'Cain but there was no proof until several years ago when I was able
to connect with his family in Virginia. By the time I was finding records on them the
name was normally written as Ocain/Ocane (several spellings there too). But it was like
finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
