My Cairns family also lived in Mansfield, Ohio, and was not related to Robert Cairns, but
the names you mentioned do not fit my family. Connie Cairns Bainbridge

My great great grandmother, Harriet Cairns, lived in Mansfield, Ohio and was born there
in 1816, dying there in 1896. Her Mother was named Harriet and her father was Joseph. I
would be very interested to know the PA connection.
I know nothing of Robert at all. My Harriet Cairns was married twice; a Jared Irwin in
1836 then William McLaughlin 1840, a general is the Union Army with Sherman's Brigade.
He died in 1862 and his widow was insturmental in the GAR serving as President as did her
daughter Virginia.
I look forward to hearing from you!
