There was an Abel Cain who married Polly Griffin April 30, 1802 in Richmond Co. Georgia.Our Abel Cain married Charlotte Clarke in that same county on July 16, 1821.
Possibly cousins, uncle???
I have read Samuel Houston Cain's interview.
It is sweet, but historically impossible. There were no Irish Methodist or any other kind of Methodists at that time. I have found an Abel Cain that came to the US through New orleans about 1840 or so.Apparently Abel, Patrick, William and some combination of these were very popular names.
