Hi Bev,
My name is Ryan Neal. I am descended From Lafayette(Fred) Cain and Elmira Cain. Both
were slaves on a Cain Plantation in Limestone Co., AL. I am very familiar with the area
as my family lives in Athens, which you mentioned in your message. I would be very
interested in learning more about the slave records and wills your family kept. Fred
Cain's father was white. Our family knows that much, but we have not been able to
find a slave master in the area. Please e-mail me at JFlec4097(a)aol.com or just reply this
message so that we can correspond. By the way, Fred was born around 1830 in GA. I think
he is from Oglethorpe, GA. Also, Elmira was from MA. i would be interested in any
transactions that occured involving the purchase of a female slave around 1845 or so.
Thanks and I await your reply.
Anxiously in Wait,
Ryan Neal
