Cain-5784 and Cain-755 appear to represent the same person because: Same spouse(s); death date is the only really missing piece. I was not able to find on FamilySearch information that he survived the Battle of Kirksville in 1862, but I made a note about his second wife Martha Whitworth on the profile being the mother of his son Andy Cain.
