Looking for info on CAIN {James b~1799 & Rebecca b~1798(Hutchinson)} PRIOR to coming to Canada from Ireland.

Question

• Weslyan Methodists
• arrived in Canada sometime after 1828
• settled as farmers in Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada 
• Children : Samuel (~1828 Ireland); following children born in Ontario, Canada - William (~1833), Rebecca (~1835), Agnes (~1837), Frances (Fanny) (~1842), Priscilla (~1844), Susan (~1846), James (~1849), Margaret (~1849)
• may have had Cain relatives in Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada (unconfirmed)
• unable to find any direct links to Ireland (ie. parents, siblings, birth location, passenger list)
• last name may have been Kane, Cane, or similar
• living Cain descendants in our line are female which limits DNA research to date 
• are there any living male James Cain descendants who can assist or who have already taken a y-DNA test?
• Help please!!

hi anonymous,

I would remove the simcoe county tags and put DNA instead, you may get better responses that way.  I presume you have a census showing that family?

Thanks Danielle..I've updated the tags. Yes, I have a census for the Cain family.
