Timartha Mabel Lewin was born about 1806 in Shenandoah Co., VA. She was the daughter of

page 64; "Cain Alex & Timmartha M. Lewis 11 Jun 1821; s of Wm")
The 1850 Census for Warren Co., VA, 69th District; page 14; enumerated 28 June 1850, had
the following information:
Dwelling 204 Family 208
Timothea Cain 44 F Cannot Read or Write
John " 8 M Attended School
Charles " 5 M
There is some debate over the father of the sons listed in the 1850 Census, as Alexander
Cane died well before 1850.
Elijah Cain may have gone by the last name Gibson.
