I was given 5 April 1844 as their date of marriage, in Fauquier Co., VA. This date looks fairly correct, as their first child, Penolope Ann Cain was born 1845 in VA. They had another daughter, Mary Ellen and two sons, James and Charles, who were born in Va before their move to Illinois. Charles was my great grandfather, born in 1852. After their move to Illinois, they settled in Edgar Co., had 7 more children. Both John and Elizabeth died in Edgar Co. IL. It appears there are two families of John and Elizabeth Cain floating around who left Virginia and went to Illinois. I am looking for information of John Cain's parents. Alice Cain Nance
