I don't know what year my Elijah was born, but Eliza NEWHOUSE CAIN was b. c1842. In the 1840 census for Hardy Co., VA, there is a James NEWHOUSE who may possibly have been an uncle of Eliza's (a brother of her father, John T. NEWHOUSE, who was in Hardeman Co. TN by 1830). Next door to James was the following family: Owen CAIN 1 male 5 - 10 1 male 10 - 15 1 male 20 - 30 1 male 50 - 60 1 female 20 - 30 1 female 30 - 40 1 female 60 - 70 I thought it interesting that there was a CAIN family next door to this NEWHOUSE family in Hardy Co. I still haven't been able to connect these CAINs with Elijah. It's especially difficult since I have so little information about him. I'll keep your information in mind and post if I come across any CAIN info that I think might pertain to yours or connect yours to mine. Thanks very much for your response. Brenda
