Hello,
James B. Cain, born abt 1839 in (probably) Scott Co., IN, and was probably
the son of Peter Cain of VA and Sarah Priscilla Underwood of KY (or PA or
MD?)Peter Cain may have married Sarah Priscilla Underwood in Franklin
County, KY before 1815, and they are in Jefferson County, Indiana by 1820.
They had four sons and two daughters between 1810-1840
Their last child, James B. Cain married Martha E. Allen in 1858 in Scott
Co., IN. James B. Cain and wife Martha Allen are found in Scott County, IN
in 1860 and 1870, and in Indianapolis in 1880 (census) and 1890 (city
directory)
James and Martha Allen Cain had four known children. There may have been
more.
1. Silas S. Cain born about 1862, Scott Co., IN who was born deaf. He
married 1) Hulda Smith, 2) Rachel Irvin, and 3) Mattie Wooden. Died 1934 in
Carthage, Hamilton Co., OH.
2. Clifford C. Cain, born 1865, Scott Co., IN and died 1892 in Marion
County, IN
3. Samantha Cain, born about 1869 Scott Co., IN. died (?) before 1880
4. Clarence M.or W. Cain born about 1870, Scott CO., IN - no further info.
Martha Allen Cain may have died 1880-1892, as James B. Cain married Caroline
Barnard in 1892 and Caroline Cain in 1895, both in Indianapolis, Marion
County, IN.
Does anyone have any information about this James B. Cain, his parents,
siblings, or children?
I would appreciate any information.
Thanks,
