Dear list members, Since there now seems to be so much activity on the list, I think that this is probably a good time to repost the known information re my Orange County ancestors. I desperately need help with my CAIN family who I have traced back to Orange County, NY. These are the bits and pieces of information that I have accumulated: DANIEL CANE of Warwick Liber A page 407 Will dated 2 Jan 1797 Probated 23 Feb 1797 Wife: Percilla Cane Sons: Joseph, James, William, John Daughters: Margaret, Nancy Administrators: Percilla Cane Witnesses: Jesse Shepard, David Nanny, William Reynard PRISCILLA CAIN of Town of Warwick Liber H page 143 Will dated 29 Mar 1826 Probated 4 May 1826 Daughter: Margaret Owen wife of Archibald Owen Their children: Daniel C. Owen Priscilla Owen Joseph Cain and William G. Cain - no relationship stated Son: William G. Cain - deceased His children: Priscilla Cain Mary Cain Margaret Cain Son James Cain His children: Daniel Cain Joseph Cain Isaac Cain Temperance Cain Priscilla Jane Cain William Feagles (his wife Margaret Ann Feagles) No relationship stated Son: John Cain - deceased His Children: Daniel G. Cain Priscilla Cain Nehemiah Cain Eliza wife of David W. Ferrier Executors: Thomas Ferrier and Henry W. Houston Witnesses: Sally Ferrier, Elizabeth Farrier, Michael Farrier Daniel and Priscilla are buried in the Presbyterian Churchyard in the village of Amity, Warwick Twp. Revolutionary War Service of Daniel Cain: Private, Orange County, NY Militia, 4th Reg't - Col. John Hathorn This Daniel and Priscilla are NOT those of Hingham MA. The latter are a generation too late. John and James Cain migrated to Perry County, OH. JOHN CAIN of Madison Twp, Perry Co., OH Will dated 4 Jan 1824 Wife: Pheby Children: Daniel G. Cain - oldest son Nehemiah C. Cain - 2nd son Charles S. Cain John B. Cain Eliza Farier (sic) Eleanor Cain Nancy Cain Priscilla Cain Phebe Cain Joana Cain Melinda Cain Executors: wife Pheby and neighbor James Ritchey Witnesses: Thomas King and George Crassen Priscilla Cain (d/o John) was b. 4 Mar 1812 - Orange Co., NY m. John Reynolds 16 Sep 1830 Perry Co., OH They are buried in Monticello, White Co., IN. She d. 1861 and he in 1864. They are my great-grandparents. Charles Smith Cain (s/o John) was b. 11 Dec 1814-Orange Co. m. Dorcas Davis 1 Jan 1839 Perry Co., OH The following are buried in Walters Cemetery, Wilson Twp, DeWitt Co., IL: Phebe Cain wife of John d. 11 Nov 18 60 ae 77-10-4 Nehemiah C. Cain d. 20 May 1863 ae 53-7-5 Rachel Cain w/o Nehemiah C. d. 20 Sep 1866 Eliza Cain w/o John B. Charles S. Cain d. 9 Apr 1890 Dorcas Cain w/o Charles S. d. 29 Dec 1866 Some children of the above couples are also buried there. Will of James Cain s/o Daniel and Priscilla was dated 6 Dec 1839 in Hopewell Twp, Perry Co., OH. Named are children: Priscilla, James, Joseph, William and Jasper. Daughter Priscilla was named guardian of minors William and Jasper. Could Pheby's maiden name possibly have been Carpenter? Surely, I am not the only descendant interested in and working on this family. Any help will be very greatly appreciated. Mary Alice (Reynolds) Thomas marthomas@worldnet.att.net
