Surnames: Cain Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XOH.2ACIB/2712 Message Board Post: There are quite a few Cornelius Cain in the same family so it gets confusing. My info is that there was a Cornelius Cain (1773-1850) who first married Margaret Sleeth (chn: Alexander, Mary"Polly" and Wallace S.). That Cornelius then married Sarah Hyatt and they had a son -- named Cornelius. The father Cornelius descended from Daniel Cain and Susanna(h) Custer. Daniel's father was Nicholas Cain who married Catherine (Catrina) Amnn (Mohn).
