IN) and ANY Cain family that may have been in Washington and Greene Counties between c1790 and 1830. Jesse Smith Cane/Cain's parents were Jesse Cane (b c1788 PA, d 1850 Pickaway Co OH) and Elizabeth (b c1789, d unk), and he had at least one sibling Sarah (b c1826 PA, d unk). Jesse and Elizabeth Cain may have been born in Washington Co. or travelled to Washington/Greene Co. later. The family left Greene Co. PA for Pickaway Co. OH sometime between 1830 and 1850. Since Greene Co. was part of Washington Co. prior to 1796, a serach of the 1790 Washington Co. census reveals: John Cain family (1790 Washington Co, p 199), who is also mentioned in Beers' Washington Co. PA history (p 1455). I believe he is also considered one of the earliest settlers of Washington and Greene Co's. I do not believe that Jesse Cain is an immediate descendent of this family, but could be a brother/cousin to this John. I have no evidence of this, however. A second John Cain is found in the 1790 Washington Co. census (p159). I have found NO additional information about this family but I am especially curious about him. There is also an Edmund Cain family in the 1790 Washington Co. census (p163) for which I have no additional information. Any suggestions, helps would be greatly appreciated. Also, confirmation that a Cain family line is NOT directly connected would also be helpful. I have comprehensive DNA information to share as well for those who use genetic genealogy as part of their research.

Dave,   The link below is for the Wash Reporter Newspapers online via google.  They are a wealth of information for anyone researching in Wash County.    I've been reading them now for the past 6+ months.  It takes a lot of time to do as the search feature doesn't work.  The earlier ones are shorter in length and faster to read/scan.  The later ones are longer in page size and number of pages and take considerable more time.  But, they are fabulous for finding information on the area, people, and specific surnames.   FYI.  I know I've seen your surname mentioned.  Where and when I have no idea, unfortunately.  I started with the very first edition available and I'm now at Dec 1893.    http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=f1xuXVtw34IC   Good luck.   Carole ________________________________ From: "gc-gateway@rootsweb.com" <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: PAWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, December 26, 2011 9:15 AM Subject: [PAWASHIN] Early Cain/Kain Families in Washington / Greene Counties This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
