Hello: I am looking for any info on the Cane family from Chester Co. PA. during the
1800's. Especially an Elisabeth Cane, 1860 census finds her in Downingtown. She was
born abt. 1805 in Lancaster County. I believe Cane is her married name, in 1860 she is
widowed. Her daughter Mary J. Cane born in 1847 in Chester Co.. Possibly also had a
daughter Margaret (born abt. 1836 in Chester Co.) who married 1st Frederick Wilson (from
England) abt. 1858, 2nd. Thomas Hoffman married April 1873 (record of marriage lists her
name as "Maggie" Wilson) In the 1870 census, she is marked as being either
deaf, dumb, blind or insane. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, Peggie Shaw peggieshaw(a)msn.com
