Patrick was born in Ireland according to census records. I am at a standstill on my paternal line  so hoping someone might be able to shed some light.  His children might be  [[Cain-3758 | John Cain]] and  [[Cain-3169 | Mahala Cain Ford Anderson]] and [[Cain-3848 | Abel J. Cain]] and [[Cain-3864 | James Cain, Sr.]]

Patrick Cain,Without exact date birth or Baptism date,would be difficult

too search.Do you know what county in Ireland and who he married. Was

marriage in Ireland.

Wayne,  You are so right!  Without that information I am unable to search in Ireland.  Hoping someone has information that I don't have on Mahala, John, Abel or James that might tie it together here in the States.

YDNA tests show we are from County Derry -- but got to find out more info this side of the ocean first.

Thanks

Yes, there are quite a few John Cain's -- sure wish my ancestors had used a few other names other than Patrick, James, John!

I do have this record and most of the other Cain's in Perry County listed at my website. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~brandt/John%20Elizabeth%20Tree.html

I just can't seem to tie together James, John, Abel and Mahala and a possible father of Patrick.

Thanks for your help
