My gggrandmother was Elizabeth Cain, and I've seen a birth date of 1804 for her, born in Ohio Co., KY.The first census for that KY county was 1810, where I found David Cain head of a household with two young daughters.My guess is that this is Elizabeth's family.Where did they live before moving to the Kentucky frontier?I'm wondering if you have any information on a David Cain among your Virginafamily prior to 1810.Would appreciate learning what county(ies) in VA to look for the Cain family.
Elizabeth married Amos Davis in 1823.An old Davis genealogy says that her family was Irish.
Thanks,
