THE CAINS
---------
So far as is known there was only one family of Cains living in Wilkinson
co. Mississippi from the time of it's formation (1802) until 1850.  There
were no Cains listed on the 1850 & 1860 Census.  Some Cains were listed
on the 1870 Census but are unknown to me.  jc
This line of Cains spanning over three centuries from Baltimore co.
Maryland to Texas, Oklahoma, Lousiana and other places was put together
by the efforts of many people working independently.

This is a thumbnail sketch of the descendants of William Caine who
settled in Baltimore County Maryland in the 1600s. The family migrated to
many states in the South and Southwest.  If anyone has an interest in
these people, would like to make additions or corrections to the list or
would like additional information, I would appreciate hearing from them.
