John E Cain Web site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jecain/index.htm has a lot of info on the
Genealogy of WILLIAM CAINE, it includes his known descendants 1600's to present... IN MARYLAND [16?? - c1750]

.. IN MISSISSIPPI [c1805 - c1858]
.. IN LOUISIANA [c1858 - c1869]

.. IN OKLAH0MA [c1894 - c1920]I asked if it would be alright to post his Web Page address on the http://www.rootsweb.com/~msyazoo/ site and he said it was alright. I thought I would send this info to you in case you would like to put a link to his web site on your web site.
Part of the info on this web site is about my Great ,G,G,G,Grandparents David Irwin & Frances "Fanny" (Cain) Irwin.
They lived and died here in Yazoo County, Ms. I believe them to be buried in Mt.Olivet Cemetery along with many more ancestors of mine buried in other cemeteries in and around Yazoo County. This below is just a small amount of info from his web site. It fills in back to the 1600's for Fanny Cain, my Great ,G,G,G,GrandmotherFRANCES CAIN was born 7 OCT 1778 in Orange, North Carolina, and died 1848 in Mechanicsburg, Yazoo, Mississippi. She was the daughter of 2. William CAIN and 3. Rachel UNKNOWN. She married David IRWIN 3 SEP 1795, son of David IRWIN and Julia O'QUINN. He was born 19 JUL 1776 in Wilkinson, Mississippi, and died 19 MAY 1840 in North Carolina.
WILLIAM CAINE bought land called "Richardson's Plain" in Baltimore County Maryland in 1686. The land was located on the Gunpowder Falls River in what is now the city of Baltimore, Maryland.
HUGH CAINE, along with his brother JAMES CAINE, migrated to Orange County North Carolina around 1750/60. It was about this time that the "e" was dropped from "Caine" and the normal spelling became "Cain".
WILLIAM CAIN along with wife Rachel, moved to Hancock County Georgia sometime in the 1780's. About 1806, William Cain Sr, with most of his family moved to the Natchez District of Mississippi in what is now Wilkinson County Mississippi.
WILLIAM CAIN Jr. along with David Irwin and David's wife Frances (Fanny) Cain, obtained a passport in 1807 to pass through the Creek nation to the Natchez district of Mississippi where they joined the rest of the family.
I haven't figured out the exact date that David And His wife Fanny came to Yazoo County, but I am working on it. It looks like that they sold all their land in Wilkerson County,Ms. 22 Sep 1832 and moved to Yazoo County, Ms .
Thanks
Harvey WilliamsAug 2004 -- additional information
I recently found out the date of birth of Frances (Cain) Irwin, this wasn't shown in anything that I had found before. Also I thought David Irwin was born in NC but it looks like I was wrong. According to this info he was born in Wilkerson County, MS.
Frances (Fanny Cain) Irwin was the GG Grandmother of Tabitha Jane (Hancock) Scarborough, who was the mother of my grandmother, Druea Naomi Scarborough, who married my grandfather George Washington Williams in 1905, Satartia, MS-Yazoo County
David Irwin was 19 years old when he married Fanny Cain. She was 16 years old. According to what I read on John Cain's web site he was a lawyer.
I would guess he was either a very smart man to become a lawyer before he married Fanny Cain or he studied law after he married .
I would assume that Hh was a child of well off parents in order to survive studying and support a wife at the same time.Thank you for visiting please come back soon.
