My father lived in Dalton.I lived there for three years.We moved back to the United States
in 1948 (my mother and my brother and myself). My mother told me that Originally the name
was McCain but the Mc was dropped because of some kind of predgidace. The"e" was
added because the Catholic church did not,at that time, want to recognise it because it
was the name of a killer in the Bible.
ps. My mother has traced my fathers side of the family to the Isle of Man.
