Ours was John Cain, born 1773, around Surry Co. North Carolina. Mother was Celia Steelman Cain and Father given as Thomas Cain. Several Cain families around in Rowan Co. N.C. ROWAN CO. was quite large at one time. 26 Counties, and a portion of Tennessee, were carved from it. Sometimes the people didn't move the boundries changed. Please post your info. There are a lot of gaps to be filled, and someone somewhere may have the rest of your group and be very glad to share. There were several wills in N.C. at early dates. Anxious to see what you are willing to share!
