Cain cousins, I decided to try to transcribe the information that I found in the museum in Warren Co., Lebanon, OH, about the Cain family. Record of black & Mulatto persons Be it remembered that on the 14th day, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seven Cook a black man, aged about thirty seven years (formally owned by Abner Cain as a slave) enters himself as a free negro May 14th 1807 The following negroes (formally the property of (cannot read first name)Cain widow of Jonathon Cain, Vix, Pat, a negro woman aged about fifty years, also a negro woman called Chaney about thirty three years of age with five children whose names are as follows first Dinah a negro girl aged about fifteen years second Dealor a negro girl aged about ten years, third Limbrick a negro boy aged about eight years fourth Barbara a negro girl aged about three years fifth Delilah a negro girl aged about one year, enter themselves as free blacks agreeably to the provisions of an act entitled an act to negotiate black and mulatto persons, Be it remembered that on the 12th day of December in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seven Jonathon Cain comes and causes to be entered Ceasar a black man who says that the negro has been in the State of Ohio eleven months. -------------------- This entry tells me that Jonathon Cain and his wife were with Abner in Warren Co., OH, in 1807. Also found: Marriages: 25 Jul 1807 Thomas Pearson Burns m. Amelia Cain father Abner Cain wit James Pearson & John Pearson Sr. 22 Aug 1814 Robert Burns & Delilah Cain 114 Jan 1832 Samuel Lipton & Hannah Cain 15 Feb 1819 James Burns & Hester Cain consent of Sarah (X) Cain Att: William Dixon & Rebecca Pearson 20 Mar 1820 Samuel Cain & Hannah Church 26 Nov 1812 William Pearson & Sarah Caine by John Caine Early Ohio Settlers land purchasers SW Ohio 1800-1840 Abijah Cain 29 Dec 1804 Warren Co., OH Abijah Cain 26 Jan 1807 Warren Co., OH Abner Cain 26 Jan 1807 Warren Co., OH Hardy Cain 22 Sep 1814 Montg Co., OH Joseph Cain 22 Sep 1814 Montg. Co., OH I could not find this but there is supposed to be an estate record of Abner Cain in Warren Co., OH. 16 Jul 1816 wife Sarah Vol. 4 pg. 393.. ( He must therefore be buried in Warren Co., OH) Now to the other Abner Cain, this one younger, and only in Greene Co., OH. He first shows up in a court record in 1816 in Greene Co. Sugarcreek Twp., OH, with Levi Allen and Lewis Bingamon. He is offend connected with these two men. He married Elizabeth Paulin 1 Sep 1818 by Samuel Bare J.P. (her family was Quaker) IAbner Cain of Greene Co., died in Clifton, OH, about 1837. If you see anything here that would connect these two men, that would be wonderful. Please let me know. The second Abner Cain is my third great grandfather all documented and proven. I am searching for his parents. Is he part of the Jonathon Cain family, father of Abner Cain of Warren Co. OH? Sugarcreek Twp., Greene Co., OH, is beside the Warren Co. line. Also found in Greene Co., OH, is Daniel Cain who married Sarah Knight in 1814 also of Sugarcreek Twp., Greene Co., OH Thanks, Dianne Cain Black
