My gg-grandmother was Lizzie Caroline Cain born about 1884. On her death cert., Thomas L. Cain is listed as her father, but on her SS# record, he is listed as Josiah Elias Cain. She may have been born in Sullivan, that's one birth place listed, but on the SS record, it's Ironton, Mo. Also listed was father's place of birth as Coe, MO., which we can't find. She also may have had a sister Maudie, who may or may not have married a Rice. Lizzie's children were James Sylvester, Cratis Middleton, Everett Van Buren and Mary Esterlee. I wondered if your John Cain had a brother Thomas or Josiah Elias or Elias Josiah. Unfortunately, we've run into a brick wall. Let me know if she fits in or not, I've been ruling out Cain's from all over the country. any info would be great. Thanks for your time and Good Luck in your search. Dona Burnett Alton, Ill.
