This is a message I wrote for the Ozark Co, MO mailing list, but it applies to Marion Co people also, so I hope it is appropriate. James CAIN (b. 1781 in NC) settled in Falling Springs Twp, Ozark Co, MO in about 1843. He lived before that in Marion Co, Tennessee. His children were: Georgen W, James M, John S, Charles D, Sarah "Sally", Eliza, Lucinda, and Leward. James, Charles, Eliza, possibly Sarah and Lucinda came with him to Ozark Co. Eliza md. Robert GILLILAND in Marion Co, TN, they lived in Ozark Co. Lucinda md. ? EVANS. Sarah possibly md. ? KEES. George md. Rebecca STONE, he and John both remained in TN, being prominent citizens in Sequatchie Co. James M. md Amanda M. STONE, sister of Rebecca STONE. They were daughters of General William STONE of Marion Co, TN. James M CAIN and Amanda M. STONE had these children: William S (b.1837-8 TN), Eliza (b.1840 AL), Polly or Mary (b. 1842 TN), James C (b. 1847 MO), Spencer C (b. 1850 MO), George W (b. 1852 MO). Wife Amanda died sometime after this and before 1860, and he md. Sarah STONE. Not sure which is the mother of the following children: Amanda M (b. 1856 MO) and Angaline (b. 1859 MO). Apparently Sarah died in Marion Co, AR sometime before 1870 and James md. Minerva (possibly CASLIN). They had one child, Avarilla (b. 1869 AR). I believe she md. J. E. CREWS/CRUSE. James moved to Marion Co, AR between 1860 and 1865. He apparently died sometime before 1870 as he was not on the census, but I am not sure about this. Minerva CAIN might have remarried to Robert CASEBOLT. 1900 census shows them with 2 grandchildren named CREWS, John M. and Mamie (Marie?). Could be children of Avarilla CAIN CREWS. What happened to their parents? William S. CAIN md. Mary J. ?, they moved to Jimmie's Creek in Marion Co, then he was killed there in the Civil War, in 1862, fighting for the Confederacy. Charles D. CAIN was Ozark Co Sheriff between 1858-1860. He md. in 1858 to Dorothy TEVERBAUGH, dau. of Job TEVERBAUGH. He, his brother James, and nephew William were in a lot of legal trouble from 1858-1865, as they are in circuit court records a lot in that period of time. I don't really understand what it was all about. If anyone knows anything about this, please contact me. I have copies of the records, but they don't explain much about what they did. It was "disturbing the peace of a family" and "felonious assault." These three men all died in the 1860s, as they are all in probate records. Would sure like to know more about what happened to them. Would like to know if they fought in the war and what regiments they were in so I can send for military records. If anyone knows anything about any of these people, please HELP! Will gladly share what records I have. Thanks.
