Family said to have moved in 1870 from Dale Co, AL, to Columbus, Muscogee Co, GA. Emily Frances b. ca. 1825 GA, d. 26 AUG 1904 in Columbus, buried at Girard Cemetery in (now Phenix City) Russell Co, AL. Member of Broad St. Methodist-Epsicopal Church; Rev. J. G.

"Katie" CAIN, b. ca. 1847, d. 09 JUL 1898 Columbus, Muscogee Co, GA, buried at Clapp's Factory Cemetery; member of Broad St. Methodist Church. Evidently never married. >>>Mary Ann CAIN, b. ca. 1858 AL, m. 02 JUN 1875 in Muscogee Co, GA, to John L. ASBELL, b. ca. 1857 GA. Couple appear with two small children on 1880 census of Brownville, Lee Co, AL - John is a cotton mill operative. Mary Ann lived at Jackson, GA (not sure of county) in 1898, and perhaps died before 1904. >>>J. H. CAIN, resided in Columbus in 1899 and 1904. May be James H. CAIN (wife Lennah), employed as engineer at the Columbus Steam Laundry and residing at 721- 21st St. in Columbus (1900); also perhaps James H. CAIN, b. 14 OCT 1865 GA or AL, d. 28 SEP 1926 in Muscogee Co, GA (death cert. file #22393), buried in Riverdale Cemetery. >>>Sinah A.

In 1888, family resided on Van Buren St. in Brownville, Lee Co, AL, and Julius was a mill operative at the Eagle & Phenix Mills in Columbus. He became a Columbus policeman in 1890 and retired in 1922 on disability half-pay. Rev. J. W. CRENSHAW officiated at his funeral. >>>Emma CAIN, m. 29 APR 1886 in Lee Co, AL, to Joseph Henry ROBINSON, b. 25 MAR 1865 GA or AL, d. 15 DEC 1941 Columbus, Muscogee Co, GA, buried at Riverdale Cemetery, son of Miles Wilburn & Sallie Elizabeth (McBRYDE) ROBINSON. Joseph had previously married in 1884 in Columbus to Carrie Elizabeth POSEY, who d. ca. 1885. Emma resided at Columbia, Houston Co, AL, in 1898. >>>I. N.

JACKSON, res. near Albany, Dougherty Co, GA (1904). These folk are likely kin to J. R. CAIN, evidently a child - no dates, buried at the Clapp's Factory Cemetery in (now Columbus) Muscogee Co, GA. His is the only grave still marked, out of an estimated 300-500. I would appreciate any information on the above and their family connections - I will be glad to share what I have.
