Dear Kristin,
Thank you so much for the information you provided. I am just beginning my search for this branch of family... I have been doing this for about 5 yrs and currently have 13 active lines of research. The Nettles family will begin line # 14!
This line is a branch of my maternal grandfather's family, who have not been able to tell me much about Charles Nettles or Della Cain. Any other information you could provide regarding this family is appreciated. In the meantime, I will post a message to this board regarding Charles Nettles and see if I get any bites!
As regarding Della Cain, I have a theory that her parents were Thames and Mary Cain of Bladen Co NC, which is just above the NC/SC line. I have been told by my family that her parents were "Dan" and Mary Huggins Cain, but I cannot find a single record for Dan Cain in SC. There were several in NC, but none to fit as Della Cain's father.
I think my family has either confused "Dan" with Thames, or Thames Cain's middle name may have been Daniel. However, Thames and Mary Cain did have a daughter named Molay (Molly) Dallas Cain who was about the same age as my "Della". Substitute the "e" for "a" as in "Dalla"! The Cains had a rather large family, but there is a family tree on Ancestry for them...
If "Della" was from NC, you wouldn't find her with her family until after she married and moved to SC...
Please let me know if you find anything further - and thank you so much for your response!
