An update from this message:
George and Elizabeth (Nevils) Cain are the parents of Thomas M. Cain, born 1829 Rutherford Co., TN
George was born 1799/1780 in Greensville Co., VA -- he married in 1829 in Rutherford Co., TN -- in 1830 he was in Lincoln Co., TN -- looks like in 1840 he might have been in Marion Co., TN -- by 1850 he was back in Rutherford Co. and that is where he died.
Believe his father to be John Cain, born abt 1760/1770 in Greensville Co., TN. John married 1: Sela Mabry, 27 Nov 1795, Greensville Co., TN -- he married 2: Jane, widow of a Mr. Hobbs, 31 Oct 1798, Greensville Co., VA -- John disappeared from the Virginia census rolls after 1820 and I haven't found him anywhere in the 1830 census -- he was definitely deceased by Dec 1839, the will of his brother George Jr. He may have become deceased some time between 1820 and 1830. I believe he moved out of the area -- possibly died on the journey or shortly after his move. Again, no record of him or Jane that I can find after 1820.
John's parents were George and Keziah Cain.
If anyone out there can disprove my George to be John and Jane's son I would appreciate it. I hate spinning my wheels on misinformation!
