Surnames: Cain Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XOH.2ACIB/21.48.373 Message Board Post: You asked if anyone had relatives from Tennessee. I have a gggrandfather, Martin CAIN that was born in Tennessee in 1828. His wife is shown by several names, Elija, Mary, Polly, depending on the source document. She is also listed as being born in Tennessee. Martin had who I presume was a brother, Ezekiel CAIN born in Tennessee. There were three others in the Ezekiel household shown as born in Tennessee. They were Susan (1835), Jesse (1850), and Rachel (1853. This information was contained in the 1870 Federal Census of Nebraska. If any of this overlaps with what you have, I would be glad to hear from you.
