His father was Abel Cain. I don't know who his mother was. Samuel and his parents were living in Toronto, Jefferson Co., OH in 1803 when Ohio became a state. I don't know how Abel & Walter were connected but I believe they were maybe brothers. There was also an Aaron Cain & James. Supposedly Walter operated a ferry across the Ohio River just north of Steubenville, Jefferson Co., OH. Samuel's mother died while he was still young. Abel left him with John Edwards. A relative of mine says that there are court records of John Edwards sueing Abel for child support. Perhaps John Edwards was Abel's father-in-law. Abel remarried, lived in Coshocton Co., OH and raised a family before moving to Indiana where he died. His second was supposedly Hannah Cable but I haven't found record of this. My line is Abel Cain, his son Samuel Cain, his son Robert Reed Cain, his son Rodrigo DeWitt Cain, his son Charles Willoughby Cain Sr. and Charles Wil! loughby Cain Jr. (my father).
