Basic information and history. Version 2
Census information from 1850 reveals Lewis Cain was born about 1811 in North Carolina and Milly in Kentucky about 1817. She had married first a CULLEN or CULLIN WESLEY CARTER in Hancock Co., Indiana on 5 August 1835.
For one family line, they could not be found beyond the 1850 census and when found it was in another county and everyone had a different surname. The likelihood of so many of two families sharing names, birth places, and dates was slim and I noted the possibility that their had been another marriage and the another husband had died between the 1850 and the 1860 census. It took awhile but finally a record was found indicating that the woman had remarried and the man she married had the last name found on the 1860 census.
The problem arises in using some computer programs online and connecting this record with the individual on my page! The names are not the same! So, I had to copy and paste a record and add it to the entry, along with the links to the marriage of the mother to the stepfather....and such a mess.
The problem with so many of the new computer online programs is the mandate of supportive evidence makes no allowances for some of the wonky situations encountered!
This record relates to the family of Lewis Cain and Millie Greer Carter Cain Sailes Parker and their son William James Cain. The Cain family minus William James is found in Wayne Co., Indiana in 1850. In 1860 there is only Millie, Henry, Emily and James Sailes listed in the Hamilton Co., Indiana census. Millie's older children from her first marriage are out of the home and not all found in 1860 to determine if they lived or died. Emily will grow up to marry William Hudson in Evansville, Indiana and move to southern Illinois.
