CAIN and Mary GARMON. John Cain was born in Gwinnett or Forsyth Co., GA in 1832. He was a member of Gwinnett County's Company B, 42nd GA Infantry Regiment, Independent Rebels in the Civil War. He was captured and spent two years at Camp Chase, OH Federal prison. He and Mary Garmon were married in the early 1870's. Mary's mother was half Cherokee. They had one child, Louvenia Elizabeth, b. 1878, in Sheltonsville, GA. In the late 1880's, they migrated to Denton Co., TX, where several of John's brothers had already settled.

My Cain's were in Morgan County WV in 1850. One of the sons had stated on a census that his father was born in Pa. What other information do you have about John? His children were James and Samuel. Could have had more but can't prove anything at this time. His wife and/or mother of these children was Nancy or Ann, last name unknown. She was born abt 1796.

There is a John Cain buried in Wetzel. I have other information on this Cain family from Monongalia. Richard Cain (1747-1812) father of my James Cain had another son John born around 1774 in PA. Could that be him? This family is very complicated. Jack

I'm wondering if Byram is another spelling of Bynum which originally started out and Bhingham . It's interesting to see that the Bingham's, Byram's and Bynums found the Cain's appealing as mates in the 18th century and in the last century. Kate

Absolom, age 19, in the 1850 Census, makes him born 1831, it makes me wonder if his mother Mary was a widow of A. S. Swisher, the father of a Absolom S. Swisher, (born 1831). Then, did this Mary (Margaret) Swisher remarried to John R. Cain in 1835? On the Marriage license of a Absolom S. Swisher, in Brown County Illinois, he lists his parents as A. S. Swisher and Mary (Unknown). Is it coincidence that these to Absolom's were born in 1831, one being a Kain and the other a Swisher, or, is it possible that Mary was a widow of A. S. Swisher in 1835, when her son Absolom was 4, and when she remarried John R. Cain April 13, 1835? First, is there anyone on the list that is a descendant of a Absolom Kain/Cain? Does anyone have any information on this Absalom Kain/Cain born 1831? Anyone have any opinions? Thomas W. Rogers

Hello Ok, I got a mystery for you, plus lots of Absolom/Absalom/Absolum Swishers for you. A. S. Swisher marrys a Mary, has son Absolom S. Swisher/Switzer born abt 1831 (Possible middle name Solomon) Monongalia Co, WV Marriage Bond John R Cain m. Margaret Swisher (Mary Margaret?) April 13, 1835 Monongalia Co, WV. Also 1850 Marion Co WV Census, house 261 all born in VA. a John R. CAIN , wf Mary Swisher Children: Absalom 19 yrs, Nancy 15 yrs and Jacob The above Absalom, born in 1831, but the marriage took place on April 13, 1835. And my Absolom S. Swisher was born 1831 to A. S. Swisher and Mary (Unknown). So is it possible that this is a (Mary (Unknown) Swisher, widow of A. S. Swisher and mother of Absolom S. Swisher born 1831???? Other Absolom Swisher/Switzer's I have received information on: Notes: Absalom in Ohio-1811, to Indiana in 1835 ant Farina Il in 1841.

Do you know this family? 1850 Marion Co WV Census, house 261 (NO township INFO) all born in VA. a John R. CAIN , wf Mary Swisher (or CAIN?) Children: Absalom 19 yrs, Nancy 15 yrs and Jacob age missing. Children listed under SWISHER name. (Note: The above Absalom, 19 years in 1850, with mother Mary Swisher is interesting. Could this be his mother with a new husband? Absolom S. Swisher born 1831 to A. S. Swisher and Mary). Absolom S. Swisher, born 1831, died 1910 and is buried with Sarah E. Spicer in the Amen Cemtery, Adams County, Illinois. (he was married several times, 3 were buried near him) Marion Co WV; Henry Allen Swisher b. Aug 13 1856 to Absalom and Sarah Spicer his birth place is listed as VA in the 1880 Census,in Adams Co., Ill. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This is the right Swisher family, and since Mary married Cain in 1835, you need to look for a death fo any Absolum/Absolom Swisheer n that County in 1832 to 1835 time period.
