Biography

Catherine Hollingsworth /Cain Samuel's daughter with first wife Ellen died about 1878 in Fife Lake MI which is just south of Traverse City in Grand Traverse County, Fife Lake Township. Catherine Hollingsworth and John Cain came to Grand Traverse about 1869/70. Catherine would still have lived in Canada when her father Samuel died in Traverse City. John Cain married Catherine Hollingsworth (1842) daughter of Samuel (1803) and Ellenor (1809), (Hempenstall) Hollingsworth of Leeds Co., Yonge Twp., formerly of Co. Wicklow and Co. Wexford respectively.

John and Catherine were married on May 02, 1861 in Leeds Co., Canada West. They had a son born to them his name was Fred (Frederick) John Cain about 1864 in Canada West. He would be the only son from this marriage as he had four sisters who followed. Shortly after Fred was born it appears that they moved to Wisconsin for a while probably to join Amos and Charles Cain, John's brothers who had moved there in the mid 1800's.

Sometime between 1878 and 1880 census Catherine Hollingsworth Cain must have died. It may have been a result of Fanny's birth. Fanny shows up as a two years old and no mother in the 1880 census.I have found no varification of her death in Grand Traverse though. Sometimes I wonder if she ran off or something like her father. When her daughters married they put their father's name on the marriage licence and under mother they put unknown. Perhaps their stepmother did not appreciate them knowing about their mother. I hope to find out more someday.

Catherine was born in 1842. Catherine Hollingsworth ... She passed away in 1892.^[1]
