Research Notes

There was a Sarah HYATT (b=1773 CT) who married a different Cornelius CAIN of VA, Rockingham-Co but he was not the descendant of Nicholas CAIN. Stronger evidence can be found in the ancestry of Sarah, whose HYATT family associated with an entirely different CAIN family.[3] Also, check out the different death date on FindAGrave.com.

Lake-1774 Steve Lake
1986 book, "The Descendants of Nicholas Cain" 1736-1986 Haysville, Kansas, page 210 says that a Cornelius Cain of Rockingham county, Virginia married a Sarah Hyatt in 1790. The Cornelius Cain that is listed so prominently in Rockingham county, and the one who married Sarah Hyatt are one and the same, BUT he was not the son of Nicholas Cain of our lineage.

Cain-4002 and Cain-136 appear to represent the same person because: same name, exact same spouse on both profiles, same birth year, same death year
